Chaos AI Technology is holding a robot competition. The robots are rated from 1 to 10 in the areas of: Humanness, Usefulness, and Playfulness. The competition will be held on June 13 - June 19 2004, however enrolling bots will be disabled a week prior to the beginning of the competition.
If you're interested, you can go there and check it out or maybe enroll your bot into the competition. We accept AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, and ICQ bots. If necessary we may make an exception for Jabber or IRC.
Anyway, the site explains the rules and everything. Also, if you're interested in becoming one of the judges, you can e-mail cks@kirsle.net with your name, e-mail, and a reason for why you would want to be a judge.
Your bots will need a 48x48 avatar. If you don't have an avatar, your bot will be assigned one depending on the service or program used: (AIML or RunABot robot) (ChaosBot Tech program) (Unclassified A.I.)
