The sheer inventiveness of a wall-tracking robot with no brain - only springs & levers for guidance. For me, the most spectacular was not an automomous robot, but an R/C hexapod, beautifully polished in black & silver, and able to move from standing on its tippy toes to lying on its belly with its legs above it, and using inverse kinematics (apparently) to bring its body to all sorts of angles while all its legs stayed on the ground. Nice! The variety of robots was amazing. The sheer inventiveness of a wall-tracking robot with no brain – only springs & levers for guidance.

It's called Robotex 2008 and has a bit more complicated tasks than the Roborama. Only problem for most (or all) of you here, is that it's in Estonia :) For those of you, who are interested, which sort of tasks there are, you can find more information (in English) here: http://www.robotex.ee/eng I remember when me and my friend built our first line-followers :)
