Did you guys look at the AI Challenge that was done by the guys over at the University of Waterloo (aichallenge.org)? I thought those competitions were extremely well done, and have been disappointed that they haven't come out with any new ones recently.

I was thinking about the same thing recently, and checked out their forums, only to learn that some kind of general organizational debacle has delayed the games indefinitely.

The core team of contest organizers is disbanded. Some of them cannot be contacted for a months and without them there can be no development (this is no about skills but about rights and ownership). - http://forums.aichallenge.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3632#...

Yep, loved the ants challenge. We'll hopefully take the best of their concept and add it up on our site. This is our first contest (hackerrank.com/thanksgiving)

Ah great, I look forward to checking it out. Unfortunately I have to work during the day -- but for those giving the contest a shot, I recommend starting your research here:
