Original Sin: Late Night Racing Team
Original Sin was built as a joint effort of Team Piranha, Pizza Orgasmica, and Late Night Racing with the goal of making a strong, powerful and well handling combat bot. High traction tires driven by two 4.5HP electric motors give Original Sin the pushing power needed to make its abrasion resistant steel wedges effective against many types of bots including lifters, other wedges, and deadly spinners. Precise and aggressive driving is a key factor in Original Sin's success.

Mini Sand Drawing Machine
This small inexpensive plotting system uses two servos and a mechanical linkage to doodle. The drawing stylus can reach a curved diamond shape and can adapt to plot with a pen or other interesting materials. It is a low resolution system that can be built with hand tools and inexpensive off-the-shelf parts.
This project is part of The Robot Group projects.
