We mentioned the robocode competition before and the deadline for tweaking the code has now passed. The code is set and the virtual robotic tank battles will be played out in the 11th and 12th of March in Tipperary Institute, Thurles, Co. Tipperary Ireland. Good luck to all involved. We didn't mention the secondary school equivalent called schoolbots. Eight teams have qualified for the finals and it would seem that all the budding programmers are from outside Dublin. Here are the Finalists: List of Qualified Schools and Robots for Schoolbots final in March 2009 School - Robot Name Ursuline Secondary School Thurles - ThePaddyCappers Loreto Secondary School, Kilkenny - Slonce CBS Thurles - jrptank2 Gort community school - Alea iacta est...
