Teams compete in the DARPA Grand Challenge by creating and programming a completely autonomous robot in attempts to successfully navigate itself through 142 miles of desert terrain in less than 10 hours. See how the different teams approached this problem through various hardware and software implementations! Among the competing teams include Carnegie Mellon University and […]
The people who designed Big Dog and PETMAN are at it again—this time to build a massive ridable hexapod. This particular hexapod seems to have been designed to avoid the pains of traffic: standing at over six feet from the ground, it can easily walk over and around stopped traffic: Visit the project website here http://projecthexapod.com/blog/ […]

Inside the car, a GPS receives input from the laser, and […]
Ever thought parallel parking was hard? Well this robot disagrees. I sometimes have to drive an extra block to find a large enough spot to park in… This will hopefully solve those problems! +110

Now they have multiple cars, going around a pretty crazy track in my opinion take a look, its something straight out of a […]
I challenge you and your FLL teams to build this epic lego engine!! #myengineisbetterthanyourengine? Seriously though… I wonder how much horsepower… Apparently these engines are actually available for purchase at www.LPEpower.com +40
