I got on the science olympiad team at my school (it is junior varsity, the coach created it to keep the varsity from continuing to be lazy )

Anyways, I am participating in the Robot Ramble event along with 2 other people on my team. Here is a pretty good explanation of what we do:

The varsity team used a remote control car as the base last year, and we are considering either a car, or a robosapien since the motors are powerful.

Does anyone here have any ideas on implementation? I have some ideas, but I need to decide on the robosapien tomorrow since we can get it for 50 dollars ( http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_1030000000126414P?keyword=robosapien&sLevel=0 )


One design is an arm on top of it and a storage thingy on it =P

Another is a design where it sweeps stuff up into a "bay" and goes from there, although that might not work.

...you linked to an email, and somehow didn't think it would be inaccessible to others? How have you managed to live this long?

Didn't press ctrl-c hard enough, my good keyboard (g15) won't fit on this desk's pullout so I am using a different one... I am an idiot

And you Netham, are a hipocrite...


I am actually trying to figure out where that other link came from anyways... I haven't copied anything from my google mail recently...
