That's cool. Their (roaches) legs are strong.

Edit: Now I'm thinking about the HEX Bug...

Congrats to all the Seniors!

That's what next years game is going to be!

That is awesome! That is probably going to lead into some interesting future drive contorl systems. Think about it, just walk forward, and the whole robot does the same thing! Only on a virtual plane though, like what the cockroach was technically on.

I have great respect for ants but driving a robot, although they are great at moving things right along - crumbs, leaves, dirt..

NOBODY knows quite what will happen there.

Teams could even be allowed to train their own cockroaches...

Re: Best robot drivers EVER!!!!
This is exciting; more doors are opening and expanding our horizon.
I was thinking: in a sense, these kinds of things are probably the most intimidating parts to rookie/teams that are thinking about forming.
This is where we encourage and inspire them the most, to be creative and innovative, and have fun all at the same time. You really couldn't ask for a better introduction to robots and engineering.

*I wonder what would happen if your trained insects got away??
*While packing for a competition: "Make sure you don't forget the extra cockroaches." (HEHE...I like the sound of that one...not so sure I would want to be the one in charge of those though.)
