Knewt at Beep Beep Gallery

Knewt makes an appearance at the opening of Beep Beep gallery in Midtown.

I went to the Beep Beep gallery opening and displayed some robots and cards to promote our club. It's a small space with a cool sign off Ponce between downtown and Virginia Highlands. There were easily 100 people there. There was food and drinks and music. It was quite a party. There were about 10 to 15 artists represented. Knewt and "entourage" sat on a table with a stack of AHRC cards. The party was still going on at 11:30 when I packed them up.

keith, thanks for the forward and the cool email. people really liked your robots alot. i'm glad you had a good time.

Knewt wins First Place in the Open Competition
of the 2006 AHRC Robot Rally

First and formost I'ld like to recognise Knewt's team members, Stuart Rolf and Bob Baxter for the fine work that made Knewt possible. We ran 3 motion routines on the parallax board that proved that the robot could move about and stand on one foot without falling down. The "not falling down" I think was the "clincher".

The Rally overall was a lot of fun, there was a fine array of robots present and I'm proud for Knewt to be recognized by such a prestegious group. Thank you AHRC for such a fine event.

Frank Borowick presents me with the first place trophy as Richard Bodor looks on.

COOOL! Well done, Sir. Were you way ahead of the also-rans?

There were 4 others, 1 lego with a hand (end affector), one with a camera, a butler, and a line follower. Knewt was less than 1 point above 2nd place. These are some very clever guys.
