Fluffy-Bunny-Kill-Fest
You are being invited to build a small robot for the purpose of stuffed-animal mutilation. You get to compete with other robots to see whose robot best fulfills its purpose. If you can't build a robot by yourself, get some freinds to help, or if you don't have any friends, just show up to watch. We'll enjoy your company and provide you with free entertainment.
Robot Limitations
The robot must be less than one cubic foot AFTER fully assembled. The toy-killing robot cannot use any sort of fire in its destructive processes. No caustics, or arcs, no projectile weapons. The robot can be either remote controlled or autonomous. If autonomous, you will need to have an easy to access off-switch and your robot should not inadvertently leave the competition area.
Robot Limitations
The competition will be held in room 01116/01118 (the Printing Applications Lab) in Building 7B (the photo building). Your robot will have 1 minute and 30 seconds to destroy its victim. The competition area will be 12 feet square, with the stuffed animal placed in the center to start. If the stuffed animal is flung out of the ring, the robot's owner may place the stuffed animal back into the ring, but with no additional time to compensate for the stuffed animal's absence from the ring. Photos will be taken at the end of each event, and the remains of the stuffed animal will be moved to the judging table. After all participants have shown their stuff, the one who most thoroughly destroyed their specimen will be pronounced the winner. The competition will be limited to 25 entries. A team can consist of as many or few people as desired. Registration Deadline is April 1st.
