RoboChamps is Live!

Michael Lehman — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 01:22:00 GMT

Marc Mercuri, one of the hardest working and smartest people I know, just launched www.RoboChamps.com

RoboChamps is, in Marc's own word:

"...a league, and like sports leagues, will have a regular season comprised of a series of challenges. As RoboChamps is based in simulation, we can provide you with access to environments and robots most people could never get access to - from a trapped filled maze, to city populated with driving cars and working trffic lights, to a city struck by an earthquake, a huge soccer stadium - even the surface of the planet Mars! We'll conclude the season with a single elimination tournament, where we'll continue until we've found four finalist and.... well, I'll talk about that more later in the season, but I'll give you a hint, it involves real robots and a major event."

Finally I can talk about what I've been working on for the past 6 months!

Yesterday, Soma delivered a keynote at TechEd Europe : Developers, and blogged about the Software + Services Blueprints!

S+S Blueprints are source code access, guidance and tools that work with Visual Studio to enable you to easily build software + services solutions. Later today (6-Nov) we will be delivring the first in a series of such blueprints that enables you to build an add-in to Outlook 2007 that exposes data and interacts with external services.
