How cheaply could you build a robot? Posted on June 25, 2012 by liz Our friends at the African Robotics Network (AFRON)
are currently running a competition to design a low-cost robot
platform. The idea is to create affordable robots to help ignite people’s
interest in computing, science, maths and engineering. While the ultimate target is to build a $10 machine, all
prototypes that cost less than $100 qualify for entry. The IEEE Robotics
and Automation Society are kindly sponsoring the cash prizes, and
we’re also supplying some Raspberry Pis as prizes for the winning teams.
The deadline for your entries is the middle of September. Full details can be found on AFRON’s website. You
don’t have to use a Raspberry Pi in your design – as long as your robot is
cheap, it’ll qualify. Time to put your thinking caps on and
get creative!

目前我们在非洲机器人网络（AFRON）的朋友正在开展一项设计一种低成本的机器人平台的竞赛。这个想法是建立负担得起的机器人，以帮助点燃人们对计算、科学、数学和工程的兴趣。
而最终的目标是建立一个10美刀的机器，所有原型的成本要低于100美刀才有参加的资格。IEEE机器人和自动化学会恳请赞助现金作为奖励，我们也提供Raspberry
PI作为奖励给获胜的小组。您参赛的截止日期是九月中旬。
更多详细的细节可以在AFRON的网站（http://www.robotics-africa.org/design_challenge.html）上找到。您不必在您的设计中使用Raspberry
PI-只要您的机器人是便宜的，它将符合资格。时间会揭开你思维的帽子并获得创意。
===================================奖品还不错哦，各位大神可以参考参考======================================
备注：
Prizes
Therewill be nine winners: a first, second and third prize in each of three
categories (described below)
First prize: $500 + 1Raspberry Pi
Second prize: $250 + 1Raspberry Pi
Third prize: $100 + 1Raspberry Pi
