Is Rossums Playhouse related to the Trinity College Fire-Fighting Home Robot Contest?
RP1 has no association with the Trinity Contest. The contest was the inspiration for the simulator. Building a robot for the competition seemed like an interesting problem. Lacking the time, skill, and resources to do so myself, I wanted to make some contribution to those who were. I thought that having a simulator like Rossum’s Playhouse might help improve the baseline of navigation and control software available to the robot builder. Anyway, Trinity is a nice college. The contest is a serious blast. I encourage you to check it out.
