Hello everyone!
Tonight was an amazing turnout for the Robomo First Friday Line Following Competition!!!
We had 28 entries! That’s a new record of participation for any Robomo event!
In a couple days I will send one more email bomb with the competition video showing all the robots competing.
And lastly, we need to send a giant congrats to Mark the builder of the robot named “Mark2” which was the winning entry!
His winning run time was 19 seconds!!!
To remind everyone, each touch of the robot was a 3 second time penalty, and any kit robot entry got an additional 10 second penalty for not being homemade.
