The object of the game is to build a robot that will play a game of basketball. On a miniture size court: there is a ping pong ball dispenser at the center, laced with IR emitters (so the dispenser can be located); one, two and three point zones painted on the floor of the court; and two baskets on either sides of the court, lit by a little light source (so the hoops can be located).

The project is broken down in to the following:
1) Building the robot -- this is the fun part
Using legos, the robot is designed to

• Locate the ping pong ball dispenser.
• Obtain the balls from the dispenser.
• Locate the basket.
• And dispense the balls to the basket.
• Points are adjusted to the difficulty of the shot.
• Here are the complete rules/instructions for the project.

• The robot is to be programmed to expect any situation that may arise in the playing field; in other words fully autonomous.
