24th Annual HBRC Challenge Phase III, Sept 30, 7pm Pacific Time

[camp .]

    Nothing But the Best Part of the Meeting... Show-and-Tell! So get your Robot Running! Plenty of Challenges:

    We'll start with our original HBRC "TABLEBot Challenge". A TableBot is a robot that survives, lives, and plays on a table (or pays the price).

Phase I: Build a robot that goes from one end of the table to the other and back.

Phase II: Have the robot push a block off the edge of the table.

Phase III: Have the robot push the block into a shoe-box mounted at the end of the table.

    Next, another HBRC original... "The FloorBot Challenge"... a FloorBot is a robot too big for the table.

Phase I: Go from one end of the room to the other and back.

Phase II: Find an object in the room.

Phase III: Fetch the object.

    RobotArm Challenge:

Phase I: Build a robotic arm that moves or waves.

Phase II: Pick up an object in a known location and move it to another location.

Phase III: Pick up an object from an unknown location and place it in a container or known endpoint location.

    AI Challenge:

Phase I: Have the robot verbally chat.

Phase II: Ask the robot to visually identify an object in the room.

Phase III: Have the robot manipulate the object.

And finally... Run What Ya Brung!

Show off your special one-of-a-kind homebrewed robot no matter what it does or doesn't do.

    Our Stock-in-trade is functioning robots, but works-in-progress are good for partial credit. Total World Domination depends on YOU! Don't be a spectator; participate!

Thanks,

Three weeks! Plenty of time!  :-]  

    We are a builder's club! Get your robot out! If you haven't started your robot project yet... get started! Charge it up. Fix it up. Add something new. Attempt to finish it. Here's your opportunity to create. YOU have a presentation to give on September 30, in person at Maker Nexus or virtually on Zoom.

 

    We have several events in which to participate:
