Nano Sumo Robot
Built in 2010
This is a sumo fighting robot. That means that it battles against another robot by trying to push it out of a ring - just like really sumo fighters. It is called "nano" because it is about 1 cubic inch in volume, which puts it in the Nano-sumo class. These robots must be able to detect the opponent and detect the ring.

Chess Robot V2
Built in 2010
This is my 2nd chess playing robot. Unlike the first one, this one works. You can play against it or against another human. The user enters their move on a keypad and the robot moves their piece using a gantry crane. The robot then uses a computer to generate its move and executes it using the crane.

Maze Solving Robot V2
Built in 2010
This was my second attempt at building a maze solving robot. It was supposed to be able to find the end of a line maze and then drive the shortest path. I accomplished the first part of that. I was able to accomplish the second part with my third version.
