Re: Non competition robots....
A while back some members of 696 built a robot that went to India to show/guide visitors around a section of an art museum and tell them about different paintings. It used lots of Banner sensors and NPC battlebot drive motors and three 33Ah batteries so it could run all day.

Also, every year we have done some little competitions to build stuff out of legos. One of them was to build a device that could lift the most weight. I think I used only one motor and it lifted 28 lbs. The motor could have taken more but the axle flexed so much that the gear lost mesh.
