OTP BankIT Competition

Challenge

For the first time this year, OTP Bank wished to prove they don't provide a career path only for economist but they also offer a good job opportunity for IT graduates. This was the beginning of the OTP BankIT Competition.

Solution

You could be a high-school or university student, maybe a professional, if you were interested in the IT field you could apply with your teams of 2-4 members and participated in this language-independent competition.

In the online qualifying round the contestants had to take a tour around the virtual office of OTP Bank, while they ought to solve different logical-mathematical and programming tasks.

Those teams qualified for the next round, which successfully gained 80 points. In this complicated stage, the competitors had to program a virtual robot to go along on a track. At the end of the stage, the best 24 teams proceeded to the final round.

In the final the contestants could test their skills in practice as they had to program a real LEGO EV3 robot to go along on a track while, it had to sense and calculate the green spot alongside the track. (The robot had a sensor, which senses the distance and a sensor, which could sense the light and the colors. The competitors had to use these to lead the robot to the finish.)
