Robonauts - Ho!!!!

Team #118 out of Houston is the Robonauts, because most of the team's engineers (myself included) work at NASA on a project called (you guessed it) Robonaut.

Check him out here - http://vesuvius.jsc.nasa.gov/er_er/h.../robonaut.html

The team's robot last year was called Condor because it looked rather birdlike after it was built, due to the 15' telescoping ball grabber arms, and the shorter pointed goal arm in the front. The previous year (before my time, but I'll share the legend) the robot was called "Hot Rod" because whenever it moved, it popped a wheelie. 118 tends to wait until the robot has started to take shape before they determine a name.
