Chibots, my robotics club, recently hosted the Fall 2012 "Chibotica" event. Four competitions ended up being run; Robot drag racing (2 working competitors), Basic line-following (6 working competitors), Racing line-following (3 working competitors), and LEGO sumo (6 working competitors). I came first in everything. My prizes were: One BahBots controller, one STK500 AVR programmer, one Solarbotics Compact L298 Motor Driver, and three MaxBotix LV-MaxSonar-EZ1 ultrasonic range finders.
I brought W.E.D.G.E. V2 (more deadlier than ever!) and good 'ol Juggernaut for the sumo. My new line-followers Bloodhound and Low Clearance for the line-following/drag racing/maze solving (only Low Clearance for maze solving. It didn't work at the event, but it worked fine at home!
) events, and two drag race specific robots which didn't get to compete.As always, I will post a bit about each robot seperately, as I get pics taken and uploaded.
I have compiled a video of nearly every robot at every event. [LINK]
