As anticipated, the
Rat's
Life competition ended with the victory of
Ratatouille: a SLAM-enabled
robot whose author received a Webots PRO
pack.
However, the transfer to the real world was not very straightforward
and another contestant, named Ratchou won the real worlds final and
received an e-puck
robot (see movies).
41 teams have been actively participating in this contest so far. The
next edition will be starting this fall.
