	Odyssey Robot
		It is a contest devised by the Seattle Robotics Society, inspired by the problems to be solved for the DARPA Grand Challenge.
		The robot would move along its course on the way to the cones, and this big crowd, of what seemed like over a 100 people would follow along to see how the robot would fare.
		Odyssey finally got a good GPS signal again, turned around and started heading back to the destination, but by then it was too late.

	Robot Odyssey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robot Odyssey is a logic puzzle game, published by The Learning Company in 1984.
		The puzzles are solved by programming your robots to accomplish various tasks.
		This is done by wiring a synchronous digital circuit, consisting of logic gates and flip-flops, inside of the robots to control their actions.

	250-foot Odyssey Explorer - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community
		JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 12 - When the 250-foot Odyssey Explorer docked here this week to unload a trove of gold coins and valuable artifacts from the wreck of the Republic, a 19th-century steamer, the Explorer's deck was a blur of activity, bristling with the modern technology now necessary for the recovery of sunken treasure.
		The robot is one example of the sophistication and technological precision of this salvage effort, which leaders say surpasses any previous shipwreck salvage.
		Odyssey, a public company, hopes to make a profit mainly by selling coins and setting up shipwreck museums and exhibits.

	JPL.NASA.GOV: News Releases
		NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter begins working overtime today after completing a prime mission that discovered vast supplies of frozen water, ran a safety check for future astronauts, and mapped surface textures and minerals all over Mars, among other feats.
		Plans call for Odyssey to aid NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, due to reach Mars in March 2006, by monitoring atmospheric conditions during months when the newly arrived orbiter uses calculated dips into the atmosphere to alter its orbit into the desired shape.
		Odyssey was launched April 7, 2001, and used the same dips into the atmosphere, known as aerobraking, to shape its orbit during the initial months after it reached Mars on Oct. 23, 2001.

		Odyssey carries science instruments for acquiring data to improve our understanding of the planet's climate and geologic history, including searching for water and evidence of life-sustaining environments.
		Later, Odyssey would move much closer to Mars and be able to see whether or not there are places on the planet where liquid water may be close to the surface, such as hot springs.
		In its science research role from January 2002 through July 2004, Odyssey is the first spacecraft to map the amount and distribution of chemical elements and minerals composing the Martian surface.

	BBC - Press Office - Space Odyssey: The Robot Pioneers
		To accompany Space Odyssey: Voyage To The Planets, BBC FOUR broadcasts a documentary that looks at the history of space exploration to reveal the science behind the series.
		Since the first Russian robot flew round the moon in 1959, more than 160 incredible metal explorers have diced with disaster, enduring multi-billion mile missions to unwelcoming worlds and dramatic journeys of discovery and survival that rival the tale of Apollo 13.
		Their experiences on the surface of the red planet enabled Space Odyssey: Voyage To The Planets' depiction of this frozen desert world and left the fictional Pegasus crew with no doubts about the stamina they'd need to leave their own footprints in the Martian dust.

	FIRST LEGO League \| Rules
		Any object caused by a robot to be in the way of either teamâs robot performance can be moved by the referee (ref) upon team request unless doing so would have a direct effect on scoring, or unless the object is part of a larger mission model.
		Your teamâs robot is not allowed to have any effect on the other teamâs robot, field, or strategy except by directly meeting the scoring requirements of missions in areas that are shared between the two sides by design of the Challenge.
		If the robot is touched while in contact with a retrievable which has not reached Base, the ref keeps that object off the field and it is not worth points, with leniency in close situations.

		Robot Odyssey may have been an educational game, but it was by far the most wortwhile-yet-fun form of “edutainment” I have ever seen.
		The basic premise is that you are a human trapped in an underground robot city, and the only way to escape is to get robots to transport you safely through a number of increasingly tricky mazes.
		Though I was only dimly aware of it at the time, Robot Odyssey taught me the core concepts of programming in a very fun and appealing fashion.

		His only chance for survival is locked within a band of mining robots who are dutifully searching the surface for a mysterious object known as the Key to Perihelion.
		When "Odyssey" first began, I found myself thinking, "Uh oh." The premise was interesting enough, if a bit standard (the amnesiac plot has been done to death).
		After recovering the artifact from the robot guards, it is from here that Derec learns the truth of the Key to Perihelion that he saved from the raiders and finds himself in a city like none that he has ever seen before.

		Each robot has four thrusters for moving, a grabbers for duh, grabbing, and a radio emitters for communicating with other robots.
		Four wires and a flip flop are enough to get a robot bouncing back and forth across the room; with a lot more complexity, you can implement communication protocols using the radio.
		The game seems to have one big advantage over practicing with live circuits in a lab: the circuits in Robot Odyssey progress slowly, step by step, so you can see what is happening.
