Bipedal Microbot Workshop

Bryan Silver, two students from Kalani High School, and Andrea and I attended the workshop at the Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday, August 27th and 28th. About 150 adults and students attended the two-day event.

Ready for programming.


It actually works.


The next day (Sunday), Grant, a student at Kalani, and I test our robots against each other on the sumo ring.


It's much cuter with eyes and hands. This robot ended up winning the sumo contest.
