Detailed Instructable on Algos

I put together an Instructable on my 1lb bot Algos. It covers the initial build, some redesign, shaft hardening and titanium anodizing. The Instructable also includes .slddrw and .dxf's of all of the waterjet cut components used. Check it out and vote for it in the Digital Fabrication Contest if you like it. http://www.instructables.com/id/One-Pound-Fighting-Robot-Algos/

Near Chaos Robotics at the Atlanta Mini Maker Faire

 Near Chaos Robotics was a part of the first Atlanta Robot Combat event at the Atlanta Mini Maker Faire yesterday. We brought three antweight robots and ended up with Klazo tied for 3rd, Reptar in 2nd and Algos in 1st.

The event ran a unique format, each robot participated in 4 2 vs. 2 qualification matches and at the end, the 4 top ranked robots faced off in a single elimination bracket for the championship.

Video from the Atlanta Mini Maker Faire has been uploaded to my YouTube channel and sorted into several convenient playlists.
