The Stair Climbing Contest as BrickBots.Com ended last night and 'Slowpoke'
by Thatch was the winner! Congratulations on a elegant design that easily
could have qualified for the pure RIS 1.0/1.5 bonus with a bit more building
time. However, with a base time of 434 seconds the bonus was not even needed.
Details for Slowpoke:

Climbing Contest Description and full list of entries:

My robot has yet to actually climb stairs, but shows some potential. I will
work more on it this weekend and post more complete pictures, and a movie of
it performing an ascent. Entries for finished contests (un-official
entries) are encouraged, as I hope BrickBots will also become a good
respository of interesting robots and building ideas. Details for my half
robot, Almost There, can be found at:

Two new great contest have been proposed, Gap Crossing (bridging) and Rope
Climbing. Visit http://brickbots.com/proposedcontests.asp to post
suggestions and help improve these proposed contest before they start.
Again, Congratulations to Thatch and thanks for everyone who sent email and
participated.
