Robots ski in Pyeongchang on Winter Olympics sidelines

While Alpine skiers fought high winds at the Pyeongchang Games today, there were no such problems for robots competing in their own'Olympics' ski challenge. Robots of all shapes and sizes skied, and in some cases tumbled, down a course at the Welli Hilli ski resort, an hour's drive west of Pyeongchang. Eight robotics teams from universities, institutes and a private company competed for a $10,000 (£7,240) prize in the Ski Robot Challenge. 'I heard the Alpine skiing has been postponed again due to wind conditions. That's a pity,' said Lee Sok-min, a member of the winning TAEKWAN-V team.
