Title: RoboGames 2009 updates
Post by: Admin on June 14, 2009, 10:09:46 PM

RoboGames 2009 just ended. Over the next few weeks I'll be uploading videos from the event, like Mech Combat, battlebots, autonomous gattling guns, and tons of other neat stuff. I'll post them here probably.

I also met up with Matt Trossen (from trossenrobotics.com), Lem from robotsdreams.com, the crabfu guy, and many other cool people.

And of course, my street cred is still good. ERP, using a prototype Axon 2, got me a 1st and a 2nd place medal  :)

(I'll upload Axon 1 compatible source code when I have more time so you can make a winning robot, too)


edit: oh, and I did a lot of heavy advertising, so we'll probably see a big temporary influx of San Francisco beginners ;D

awally88 found that by guessing the link . . . its currently a placeholder page. Info isn't correct, links aren't set up yet, etc.

And that's an outdated image, but 90% similar ;D
