A contest where contestants build autonomous robots capable of shooting lasers at moving targets. The targets will move on a track in waves that are increasingly difficult. To win your robot must survive the most number of waves.
What inspired you to make this project?:
I competed in defconbots in 2007/2008 when the contest was to shoot static targets with airsoft guns. In 2009 the contest was abandoned by the original organizer so I started a similar contest called "Robot Sentry Gun" at Robogames from 2009-2013. When Robogames ended we decided to bring defconbots back to defcon.
