Summary

Description

In the Swarmathon competition, students were asked to develop computer code for the small robots, programming them to look for "resources" in the form of barcodes – the small squares on the surface. Points were awarded each time a Swarmie robot found a barcode "resource." Teams developed search algorithms for the Swarmies to operate autonomously, communicating and interacting as a collective swarm similar to ants foraging for food. In the spaceport's first annual Swarmathon, students from 12 colleges and universities across the nation were invited to develop software code to operate these innovative robots known as "Swarmies" to help find resources when astronauts explore distant planets, such as Mars.
