RARS Race Report & News About Upcoming Races September 10th, 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.

We also have a new participant, Daniel Collins, with 'BigRed'. It is a private driver. I do not know for sure where Daniel is from, but I suspect the US? Drivers: Dodger2, BigRed Both modified to turn them into standard C++. Movies are at (if not today, try tomorrow): http://home.planetinternet.be/~pascutto/random.zip http://home.planetinternet.be/~pascutto/monza-76.zip About the message I posted this morning: It is not a good idea to drop the case-significance of filenames (yes, maybe not in DOS/Windows, but some systems *do* have that) but a solution where the given file name is first tested and only then the alternatives are looked for should pose no trouble.
