Eurobot 2010 : skating robot(s)
By Xevel on Tuesday, March 13 2012, 12:11 - Permalink
Theme : Feed The World
The idea of this year's competition was simple: collect red balls (tomatoes), orange balls (oranges) and white cylinders (ears of corn) and store them in your basket (the containers on the side of the table). The robot with the heaviest basket after 90s wins.
To make things a little more interesting, the black cylinders are fake ears of corn, and cannot be moved, and the oranges are on "trees", at the top of a hill.

The four-legged robot was not finished and we entered the competition with the prototype on which we added at the last minute an emergency stop button and a bumper to push the balls... <TODO>
