For this event, Wolfgang Scholz of iteratec and Raymund Fülöp of Cipsoft came to Passau to hold the competition. Again, the fights were interesting due to a changed ruleset of the framework, which caused the participants to think of new algorithms. New features were a new weapon and a different behaviour of the sensors. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/jrobots_11_06_2016/ Fri, 20 May 2016 10:33:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/jrobots_11_06_2016/ Finally JRobots again! https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/advent-calendar-2015/ Mon, 30 Nov 2015 00:58:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/advent-calendar-2015/ Slides of the award presentation (german): here By now it’s already a small tradition: the award-winning programming advent calendar of the IEEE Student Branch Passau. The 4th time in a row there will be a daily programming task set during advent time. Everyone may participate and the are cool prizes waiting. Starting from the first day of December there will be a new task behind the door every day. These tasks include problems from various fields of computer science and range from easy to hard. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/ieeextreme-9/ Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:47:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/ieeextreme-9/ The IEEEXtreme is a yearly international programming competition hosted by IEEE, where students all over the world try to solve programming challenges over the course of 24 hours. Four teams of three students form Passau took part in this year’s competition. Further we were joined by two teams from the neighboring student branch at the OTH Regensburg. To see our participants at work, cracking down on the problems (and vice versa), watch this timelapse. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/kanban-pizza-game/ Mon, 01 Jun 2015 12:01:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/kanban-pizza-game/ Unser Sponsor msgGillardon war am 28. Mai mit einem Workshop zu Kanban-Systemen bei uns zu Gast. Bei agilen Entwicklungsmethoden wird auch besonders auf Effizienz geachtet werden, sodass keine Ressource ungenutzt bleibt. Es wird also nur beim Vorgänger im Produktionsfluss angefragt, wenn eine Nachfrage besteht. Dies wird im Prinzip auch bei Scrum eingesetzt. Erst wenn ein Team seine Aufgaben in einem Sprint erledigt hat, bekommen sie Neue. Der Scrum Master ist in diesem Fall der Kanban-Regelungskreis und regelt die Arbeitslast zwischen Team und Product Owner. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/eggdrop-contest-2015/ Mon, 01 Jun 2015 11:05:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/eggdrop-contest-2015/ This year, again as part of the Campusfest, our 6. Eggdrop Contest recently took place. Despite of rainy weather in the afternoon of May 23 14 teams took the challenge of constructing a device called “Eggdropper” to protect a raw egg from breaking while falling from a height of 20 meters onto the ground. To lift the Eggdroppers into the air a turntable ladder was used which was provided by the volunteer fire department of Passau which also allowed the participants to enjoy the view of Passau from above. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/advent-calendar-2014-retrospect/ Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:32:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/advent-calendar-2014-retrospect/ With our prize giving ceremony at the 26.01.2015 the advent calendar 2014 has completed. Thanks to all participants and we congratulate the winners alefu, 3_of_8, conan_the_librarian, Frodewin, ChiliconCarne and Mat2095! This year we had 91 registered participants and a total of 2,309 submissions. The outcome of this were 8,505 test cases our backend had to manage. You will find an archive with all of these 24 tasks and the slides from the final presentation at the end of this report. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/advent-calendar-2014/ Sat, 29 Nov 2014 21:50:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/advent-calendar-2014/ IEEE SB Passau offers this Christmas season an Advent calendar again. Every day take a new chance to open a window of our calendar and solve the problem behind it. If you have completed all tasks successfully and have passed the test cases, a Raspberry Pi B+ may be waiting for you.

Passau was represented by six student branch members. To present their activities at the congress, each branch was asked to create a poster before traveling to Krakow. oster Passau https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/looking-back-to-the-eggdrop-contest-2014/ Sun, 22 Jun 2014 15:51:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/looking-back-to-the-eggdrop-contest-2014/ On 07/06/2014, this time as part of the campus festival, our Eggdrop Contest took place for the 5th time in bright sunshine. Nine teams took on the task of building a construction (called an Eggdropper) that would protect a raw egg from a fall of 20 meters. In the end, four of the nine teams succeeded. To quickly and safely bring the Eggdroppers to drop height above the forecourt of the Audimax, an aerial ladder from the Passau Volunteer Fire Department was used. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/fim-barbecue-party/ Fri, 20 Jun 2014 19:45:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/fim-barbecue-party/ At the 17th of June 2014 we organized the FIM Barbecue Party together with the Fachschaft Informatik. Professors, research assistants and students met at the place between the FIM and the ITZ eating steaks and sausages and drinking beer. Even though the weather was not perfect at first, over 100 people attended the party. Along with food and drink, we saw to fun and excitement organizing the first Beer-Box-Far-Piling-Event. SC02825The band Chord Dump which consists of members of the faculty entertained us with live music. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/advent-calendar-2013/ Sun, 01 Dec 2013 12:37:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/advent-calendar-2013/ Like last year the IEEE SB Passau provides an Advent calender. “Code, no chocolate!” – There are 24 tasks to solve and everyone is invited to take part in this competition. Every day at 0:00 o’clock there will be a new programmers task. You may solve it in Java, Python, C, C++ or PHP. The code is tested by us and accepted if the task is solved correctly. Of course there will be an award for the best coders. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/jrobots-2013/ Sat, 09 Nov 2013 11:37:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/jrobots-2013/ JRobot Coding Convention The current JRobots-Framework One team, one robot, one arena. Within four hours the participants develop a control algorithm for a Java-bot - target acquisition, path finding and everything which is helpful for a robot to hold its ground.

The eggs will be put into a so called egg-dropper, any kind of construct, built by you, to protect the egg, and then, the whole thing will be dropped. The one who built the best egg-dropper will win. They will be ranked by the effectiveness of the protection and the creativity. https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/jrobots-2011/ Sat, 02 Jul 2011 11:37:00 +0000 https://ieee.uni-passau.de/en/blog/jrobots-2011/ We want to thank our Sponsor CipSoft for paying for the gadgets and the pizza!

The best teams (up to 7 people) will be rewarded. Allowed are programs of all kind in every programming language. But consider that a program written in Brainfuck may get better a score than a program in Java. Beside the competition the exchange between the teams is also an important aspect.
