Anyone working on a Racket starter package for the Ants Google Challenge? http://aichallenge.org/

Here's the documentation they point one to for writing your their starter pack:
https://github.com/aichallenge/aichallenge/wiki/Ants-Starter-Pack-Guide
https://github.com/aichallenge/aichallenge/wiki/Ant-bot-input-output

It looks easy to implement.

Also, I think that, as important as having a Racket starter kit available, is having a contestant team that will use the starter kit to put in a serious effort.

A team is a good idea, because you can develop different approaches in parallel, and then decide which approaches to combine and refine. You might also be able to use additional people to get generic ``AI'' libraries working in parallel, separate from their application-specific use of those libraries.

More importantly, remember: it is not enough for Racket programmers to merely win; Java programmers must lose.
