Sheila (Mobot 1)

Sheila was our initial entry to Carnegie Mellon's 14th Annual Mobot race.

Sheila did not place. However during trial runs we managed to make it through 3 gates (which would have had us place).

 

Sheila has since been disassembled and parts of her have been used to make other Mobots.

yay duct tape!
Any videos?

yea, there are some videos

yea, there are some videos of the competition, i’ll get them uploaded to youtube and post them here.

Woot for the video!
For robots that surface should have been smooth like a babies bottom. That’s not cool. Great work though. 5 stars for a working robot with duct tape. That is always a winner!
