First PrizeThese three students went to Beijing and won 'First Prize', which included a trophy and 4,000 chinese dollars. We are incredibly proud of all of their hard work and excited about how we may be able to implement this program and other forms of AI into FIRST Robotics in the coming years!

Trip SummaryThe program presented at the AI conference is what's called a 'genetic algorithm', meaning that it's inspired by the process of natural selection and therefore 'evolves' as it is used. This allows for it to 'learn'. The objective of the program is to find optimal routes, which would allow us to solve the 'travelling salesman problem'. In the future, this can also be applied to FRC. The company hosting the conference is called 'sensetime' and is the leading AI manufacturer in China. Needless to say, it was a huge honor to be among the 38 teams invited from the 118 who applied.
