John Blitch gave a presentation at the Acroname robo02 expo of his WTC robotic search and rescue activies. It was very interesting on how they used various different but also rather graphic. Here is a link to the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue which show some the robots used.

The Acroname robo02 expo also had a presentation from Scott Askew on the NASA Robonaut Project. Scott is on team 118.

As an off season activity, I would like to encourage FIRST teams to consider entering the Urban Search and Rescue robot competition. From What I've seen the average FIRST team could kick butt and embarrass the heck out of some of the university teams entering the competition. I'll try to pitch this to the WRRF
(Western Region Robotics Forum} Too late to enter the 2002 competition, but not too late to start planning for 2003!

JPL collaborates on a robot called "Urbie" (for Urban Robot) that John Blitch was involved with. A version of it was used in New York. You can see pictures and videos of it at this JPL site:

http://robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/tasks/tmr/homepage.html

Several of the JPL engineers involved with "Urbie" are FIRST mentors.
