Go to Post I don't fully buy into the 'we're all winners' concept. That is a broad statement that doesn't really say much. How did we become all winners? What did we do to become winners? Pay an expensive registration fee and participate in a robotic competition? - JaneYoung [more]

Re: The IBOT is Dead!

You know, the two main functions that everyone sites are its ability to climb stairs, and its ability to "stand up". While I am sure it was capable of much more, sometimes the extras aren't worth the cost. If given the constraints of climbing a random set of stairs, and having a "Stand" mode that raise the occupant to eye level, What would you design?

I would love to see part of this years challenge be to carry a 200 lb payload up a flight of steps.
