Nanoid Cup 20th August 2011
Nanoid Cup
20th August 2011
Venue TBC
A new type of competition, not really related to Antweights but more related to my new venture.
I'm planning to host a new competition for robots, I'm looking for Bipeds, Quadrapods, Hexapods and Octopods (not shufflebots) to play football, sumo and sprint.
Awards will be given for each event and for overall points from all events.

hopefully that link works, its my 2 humanoids to show what can be done.
Looking for robots that weigh 100g, 200g and 300g with a foot print of no more than 120mm by 120mm with no height limit
I'm hosting it in August to give plenty of time to prepare, the date has so meaning too a drink for anyone who can tell me what that is
To encourage people to build these new type of robots I'm going to do a build guide for a quadrapod on the website (work in progress)
Anyone interested?

I might be interested, I'm not particularly technically minded I'm afraid so a build guide and/or some examples of robots with what counts as a 'walking' design would be good

sorry for the delay in responding and for the vague message.
Recently I've moved away from building robots like Anto, not because I'm bored or I dislike them, its because I'm looking for a new challenge, so I built ExV and Vee, simple humanoid robots but, I have now also built a quadrapod and it got me thinking...
these are simplified versions of the robot kits that cost hundereds of pounds or even thousands of dollars from places like Robosavvy and Trossen, not only are they simpler they're vastly cheaper, Vee was the most expensive one I built and that came to about ?40.
Not everyone has the knowledge to build one, but thats not because its complex simply because its not common place, so I've been planning to make a simple step by step open source project to show people how its done.
The robots I'm building and am hoping others will be able to build will compete in all 3 discipline's, without changing anything no additional parts and no changing of limbs etc
this isn't to get people away from antweights, its to introduce an new side to antweights, one where people can build more advanced robots that in time will compete against the traditional robots. I'm currently working on Anto 4, an 85mm tall humanoid with 18 degrees of freedom, with the intention of entering the AWS later this year.
if your interested let me know, I'll post details of the website later this week

I may well be interested pending further technical advice have added you on MSN if that's okay.

Re: Nanoid Cup 20th August 2011
had a lot on so its been postponed for now, so that I have more time to write a how to guide for the pods, currently building a tripod for the AWS called Welles, which will be one of the first entrants for Nanoids
