Stairs

Stairs would be really cool, plus after a little thinking, I came up with the following. Last season, the aspect that defined the competition was bridge balancing. Last season, Dean showcased his iBot at nationals. The main feature of this invention was the ability to balance on two wheels. See a connection? I surfed over to a site that has devoted itself to IT: Dean's newest creation. It seems from the patent drawings (pretty big page) that IT will be able to climb stairs. Some of the drawings feature Star Wars type legs (the large vehicles that had the lasers...its been a while) or a 3 wheel rotating design. I just wanted to put this out there.
