Professor Grady

Just saw your post. Thanks for the good words.

But I am surprised at the relative conservative capability you described on our 2006 machine. As for the 2007 machine, in anticipation of an aquatic game, we have completed a robot that "walks on water" and are well along with one that can "part the sea".

Mr. Bill

We're still debating between reusing our ball blower design from this year to "part the sea" or embarking on a new peltier-effect design to freeze the water and simply walk across. If we assume our opponents will be in the water during autonomous, freezing would have definite defensive advantages.
