Re: pic: Wave Robotics Drive Teaser
I love it.
I think this year there will be two classes of competitive robots: Robots that can repeatedly and reliably go over the bump with insane flexibility, and variations on your standard 6 wheel drive (with 8 wheels, or big wheels) that trade a little less bump security for added traction on the ground. A winning alliance will need to have both of these to be as successful as possible, IMO.
I know I've already given my props (or "sucked up" depending on how you wish to put it), but I still think stuff like this is SUPER COOL.
