Over the course of the past couple of months, I helped out at my local high school and my fellow teaching friend in a project for his AP Computer Science class. We had students create autonomous robots which had to navigate a space simulation and collect Baubles while avoiding obstacles. It's important to note that students wrote the logic for the ships and were completely hands-off for the duration of the tournament.
