EeGads Sumo Bot

EeGads! That's what crossed my mind when I submitted our team registry for Robogames. I know we're behind schedule, inexperienced, and hacking left and right, but we're having fun. We said we'll be there. We'll compete, and next year we'll improve our placing and our building. It's a personal benchmark of sorts. A threashold of entry. An initiation.

It feels right in line with the spirit and purpose of the Start Here Robot: Get in, get building, meet your community, keep going.

So here we go.

CNC? To us that means Cut'n Cardboard.

We'll post regular updates.

 

Cheers and see you at Robogames.
