Instructables and
RoboGames have
teamed up to create a robot building contest. The task is to design and document one specific aspect of your robot.
Good robot design is highly detailed, so we’re asking you to document specific parts
of your robot for this contest. Maybe you built the ultimate
manipulator arm, designed a killer sensor array, reused some great
trash, or just made a gorgeous housing – pick something you’re proud
of, and share how you made it.
The grand prize is a trip to the 2009 RoboGames, with the flight and hotel room included. 2nd place winner will receive a RoboPhilo Walking Android kit, and the 3rd place entry will get tons of cool robot schwag.
Entries are judged based on six categories: Locomotion, Manipulators, Brain, Sensors, Asthetics, and "Reuse and Recycling". The deadline for entries is June 29, 2008. Send us a link to your projects in the comments!
