Bot Contest
Here I'll be posting information on various Bot contests that challenge and test a Bot's AI and realism. Feel free to post comments and updates on contests, as well as announcements for new contests.

That's one of the advantages of living in a small, densely populated country like this 
But Canada's big! And a lot of it's very sparsely populated - if the mailman attempted to deliver to the door, he'd probably only get a dozen addresses covered in a day.
sasquash?????
Bigfoot - North America's version of the yeti.

Sasquash, sasquatch, yeti, Big Foot..it's just Crazy Eddy..You go crazy with no one but moose to talk to. He never shaves and suffers from terrible hang overs..he is often seen in Alberta, especially after a loosing hocky game, running through the woods..yelling AHHHHHHH.eh? That is the official sound of the sasquatch (little known fact)
There used to be sasquatch in Utah and other states in the north-west, but they were defeated and driven out by the horses.

Thank you 
So, how great would it be to have the questions before the contest begins? Humm.. I bet I could win the contest numerous times if I had the questions in advance. It would be awesome to have the questions in advance. I wonder if anyone has access to the questions in advance.. :O
But what would be the fun of that? Half the fun is seeing where your bot goofs! You find you learn with your bots!
If the questions got out beforehand, I'm betting you would actually be less likely to win. Because if the questions got out, then everyone entering the contest would program their bots to answer them all flawlessly... everyone would be getting perfect scores... and how can you choose a winner from that?
Also, someone with a bot that can barely talk would just have to program it to recognize the dozen or so questions that were going to be asked and they'd do just as well as someone who spent years developing their bot.
It wouldn't be fair to anyone. That's why the questions aren't released in advance, not even to the judges, let alone posted on the internet.
What you can do is look at the questions from previous years. That gives you a fairly good idea of the type of stuff they'll be asking.
