 +====== Concept ======
 +
 +
 +Do-it-yourself camp, where participants bring own robots to solve others robotics puzzles.
 +
 +Similar to some hackathons or barcamps. 
 +
 +Every participant is an organizer.
 +Every participant invests time and money to participate. For 1 day event it could be e.g. 50-100$.
 +
 +
 +====== Content ======
 +
 +
 +During the event, participants will build or modify their robot, so it could solve available puzzles.
 +
 +In this context, a puzzle is an assembly of ~30*30*30cm, that releases a pingpong ball when solved. 
 +A simple puzzle could be e.g. a pressure plate that robots have to push with their own body.
 +Another puzzle could require pressing 3 buttons out of 5 in a specific order. Or a puzzle, where robots have to repeat the playing sound.
 +More complex puzzles may require advanced mechanics, image recognition, or special sensors.
 +
 +When participants prepare for camp, he should bring a robot with all possible components that he may need, and two puzzles. 
 +
 +Participants themselves decide which puzzles they want to solve during the event and how. E.g. some may want to stick to RC and solve one puzzle at a time. Others may want to do it autonomous or try to collect at least 10 balls for a single run.
 +
 +Example of the puzzle prototype:

 +
 +
 +====== Prizes and winners ======
 +
 +
 +No prizes and winners. Reward is a possibility to develop your own skills, have fun and talk to the like minded people.
 +
 +
 +
 +====== Purpose of the camp ======
 +
 +
 +Show to a wider audience that robotics could be fun and accessible for all ages and all levels of competence.
