I showed it to Noah, my in-house robotics consultant (remember, he bragged, how they took second last year in the First robotics international competition in Saint Louis?). He guesses the second one is the trial run for the same robot which is mapping out the maze. The top vid is then the competition to see how fast your robot can run the maze with the map it previously mapped. The software challenge there I suppose is to find the shortest path. The mechanical challenge would be to build the most fastest and most agile robot. Thanks for the link - he's now looking for mouse maze competitions in San Diego. We also looked at the soccer playing robots.
