It certainly was the most exciting robot project we ever participated in.
Many thanks:
1. to the organizers : Dr. Eric Wang and his team at Nevada University. Great job guys !!!
2. to the sponsors : Nevada Space Grant, LEGO Company, Energizer, National Instruments
3. to the contributors :
* all the teams, although, honestly, I love most the FLL’s contribution -under the guidance of David Levy- and ex aequo the 4th grades’ marshmallows under the supervision of Barbara Bratzel and Chris Rogers. These kids leave us adults ashamed.
* Brian Davis’s freefall robot and Gypsy prove reliability and hopefully will deliver lots of good pictures
* Eugene Tsai’s Brix-Catcher : wow !
* Jurgen Leitner and David Leal Martinez’ REEL-E : this is real research ! But please explain the name.
* The LEGO Mindstorms mysterious payload leaves us under suspens.
* Finally our own LUXPAK team: thanks to Francis Massen, Jean Mootz and Jean-Claude Krack, the LCD students and the Convict robotics group: now let’s hope we get valuable data. (http://www.convict.lu/htm/rob/hale3.htm and http://www.legoengineering.com/content/view/98/65/ (thanks Morgan!)
