Actually we had not seen your snake robot until you posted the link above, but i must say they are very much alike.

Next step for SickSack is getting up that ramp!

The design is very similar to one I made a few years ago, the site is at http://arctangent.8k.com/snake/snakemain.htm

Lars either has reinvented my design independently, or implemented mine very well… in either case it is a very cool robot.

Congrats on your award at the competition.

Thanks for the comments!
As Bjørn (#10) points out we were quite busy during the last night getting the line following software to work. Checkout the videos from the qualification round here:

Not nearly as good as the final runs! ;)

#9 thanks for the links – looks very interesting.

I just think’d that the winners of RoboCup’07 (RoseBot) also should say some :D
Very nice and interesting design for the robot, I must say and wauw! The things you guys managed to make with your software over the last night was awesome !!!

Best regards Bjørn Smith

Of the two robots that caught my attention the most down there was this snake-bot and “Tumlingen” an inverse pendulum design that actually managed to complete the whole course including going up and down slopes.

Btw, better luck next time with the slopes lars and aske :)
Best regards, Aleksander Toppe

Very impressive. Elegant – Using a snaking motion to move forward, with passive wheels. The code must have been interesting! A bit like trying to emulate natures’ design. I wonder how efficient this is compared to using motor-driven wheels.

Well done.
