ImageThis is a shout out to all my students from the Duke TIP 2005 Robotics class! These guys just spent the last three weeks spending 7 hours a day building robots. That's hard core. Congratz are also in order for the originator of the curriculum, and my co-instructor, Ken Boone.

 

We spent the first week building a personal robot for each of the students. It was powered with a Basic Stamp. The next two weeks they split into 4 teams of four and constructed Fire Fighting robots to compete in a fire fighting contest.

Pictured are the completed products. For safety reasons we decided not to use a real flame - instead they had to lower the cup over a light bulb. Keep in mind that none of these students had prior robot building experience


Needless to say, they greatly impressed me with their hardwork and finished products. Great work guys!

 

PS: I'm the redhead.
