RARS Race Report & News About Upcoming Races April 4h, 2000 RARS is the Robot Auto Racing Simulation, a competition for programmers and an on-going challenge for practicioners of Artificial Intelligence and real-time adaptive optimal control. It consists of a simulation of the physics of cars racing on a track, a graphic display of the race, and a separate control program (robot "driver") for each car. All RARS software and activities are free and open to the public. It runs on DOS, Windows, OS/2, UNIX, Linux, and several other platforms.

His name is Nicola Della Gioia, from Milan, Italy. His driver code is public, and I've put it up on the website. Remi, Jorge and the Nicolau/O'Neill team submitted new versions of their bots. Jorge complained that he had to make a lot of changes but did not get any progress. Don't give up hope yet, Jorge! K1999 was absolutely incredible on imola. It ran 11 mph faster than it's nearest competitor! The old optimized paramters for Djoefe seemed to be very bad, so I let it run with the default ones.
