Administrator’s Comments:
This is the second year for my “mobile robotics” demonstration during the Herff College of Engineering Open House (aka E-Day). This year’s display included the Bluff City Bots 2011 USFirst Robot, the robots used for my University of Memphis – Engineering Technology Classes, an internet controlled robot built as a senior project by David Kennedy, my personal robot, a Lego NXT robot and a HexBug crab.
