JRobots Contest

I just learned that my company is sponsoring a JRobots contest for the software engineering staff (of which I am a member). This is probably one of the best, and yet worst, team building events I've heard of. I mean, we're good at programming, but who wants to drudge through coding work crud if you could be programming a 'bot instead?

I predict reduced productivity through the contest end.

BTW: There is a substantial prize for winning. Anyone have a strategy suggestion?
