In this event there were two challenges for the butiá robot, were schools from Uruguay come to participate. This video is very nice, because is the robot that was done from the scratch by students and a teacher of a small community in Uruguay. They modify the original design of the butiá robot and use recycled parts of old computer components to make the IO board and to make the chassis of the robot with the case of an old PC. all the best! andrés [1] <a href="http://www.fing.edu.uy/sumo.uy" target="_blank">www.fing.edu.uy/sumo.uy</a> <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">On Mon, Oct 1, 2012 at 4:45 AM, Alan Jhonn Aguiar Schwyn <<a href="mailto:alanjas@hotmail.com">alanjas@hotmail.com</a>> wrote: >> > Putting the XO on top of the robot appears to me as a cute photo op >> > thing, >> > not a necessity.
