These challenges were used in competitions in the past. You can see the scores of the best 4 solutions. We challenge you to come up with a solution which scores even better :-)
If you want to do these challenges, you only need a valid RoboMind Academy account. Such an account is free for everyone and is needed to store your solutions.
Once you are signed on you can do any of these challenges. Carefully read the description of the challenge and start coding! Every time you come up with a valid solution you can see your score under the "statistics" button. Depending on the challenge either a higher of lower score is better.
An example of the calculation of your score is:
score = (number of beacons eaten x 10) - number of steps
