MindRover(TM) Free "Track Battle" Contest

Acton, MA - As an incentive for people to try the downloadable demo of MindRover: The Europa Project", CogniToy(TM) has announced a free contest where all entrants will receive a $10 discount off the price of the full game. A MindRover T-shirt will be given away each day of the contest and the grand prize winner will receive a copy of the full game.

MindRover gives you the tools to program robots to compete in games, sports, races, and battles. In the "Track Battle" contest, players create vehicles armed with rockets to race around a small oval track, vying to be the first to complete 3 laps.

To enter, players must download the demo of MindRover, build a vehicle for the Track Battle, and submit it to the demo competition. Everyone who enters the contest will receive a discount code for $10 off the price of MindRover at the CogniToy web site. Over 7 days, from April 13-21, one randomly-chosen entrant a day will receive a MindRover T-shirt.

On Friday, April 21, CogniToy will run a tournament with all submitted vehicles. The winner will receive a free copy of MindRover and a T-shirt. A full set of contest rules can be found at https://cognitoy.com/players/contests.htm

The free downloadable demo of MindRover gives players the same ability to create and program robots as the full game with the restriction of limited scenarios and components.

CogniToy is also running a parallel contest for those who already own MindRover. It takes place in the same "Track Battle" arena, but allows all of the weapons and components found in the full game of MindRover.

You can find the information for entering at CogniToy's website:
