FIRST in Redbull Creation Contest?

[Akash Rastogi]

So there's a prominent team, Innovation Thirst, that is part of the RBCC, and our group (Atomic Robotics) is a new one for this year so we created a fun project that involved students from 3929 as well as adults and college students from all around Philly. I was wondering if there are other FIRST related teams who entered into the contest. If you did, post up what you made!

This year's contest (http://creation.redbullusa.com/) was to create a project based off an Arduino, dubbed the Bullduino.

Here are the projects so far for 2012 that are from FIRST people:

Innovation Thirst - used VEX components to create a mobile cooler/opener/serving robot for the beverage of your choice
Atomic Robotics - used the Bullduino to create the BlimpaBullduino which flies towards sounds and music. Stage two of the project is a custom bull shaped balloon.

Also be sure to check out the non-FIRST projects that are posted all over, just search Redbull Creation Contest
Last year, Innovation Thirst went onto be one of the 12 finalists, so let's see if they can do it again!

Side note: Greg Needel's other projects are really awesome as well, check them out! http://www.robogreg.com/projects
