The Trossen Robotics Blog has announced the winners of the “Crabfu challenge”. The challenge, issued by [Crabfu] was to make a robot that was full of character. It didn’t have to have a purpose or be autonomous, it just had to be full of character.

The first place winner, pictured above, won us over when he “blinked” a few moments into his video. Strange how something so simple can add so much life.

The blinking is kinda cool, but I think the “Wall-E” was better and the pig was the best. It really looked like he was trying to find someone in a crowd!

Judging Fail

On the subject of contests… Any updates on the shirt design contest?

Haha, it’s brilliant! It really looks confused when it blinks and looks around. you really have to contain yourself saying “Uh sirbugrobot, can i help you?” It has character allright.

Free love is no longer an option that we can take lightly any more so it seems there are a few alternatives to keeping it safe.So as a man, a single man I have turned to the internet to fulfill my desires at this time in my life.Sites on the internte provide me with a great alternatertative to fulfill my needs without the risksBeing that there is a wide vareiety of online sites to choose from it is hard to decide which one to go with..Personally I prefer the ones where the model satifies my fantasies.
