2009 Beyond Botball !
Beyond Botball is a game distributed by KISS Institute for Practical Robotics to encourage ongoing robotics education beyond the high school level.
Botball for Grown up Kids!
College and university educators are encouraged to use the Beyond Botball game spec as a project in their science and engineering courses. Mentors, parents and teachers of Botball teams are encouraged to focus their own creative energies into a solution for Beyond Botball (let the kids build their own robots!). Some examples of how Beyond Botball has been used in college courses can be found in this AAAI Spring Symposium paper.
Visit the Beyond Botball Area of the Botball forums to discuss the game and check on rules updates in the Beyond Botball FAQ.
