God damn Si Digital. It's like the second time I've seen your website but I'm in love with the kind of philosophy you guys seem to have around developing lab projects. If you're ever in stockholm, hit me up!

Thanks! Did you have fun shocking us for Halloween? We've put the lab notes up for that now http://sidigital.co/blog/lab-halloween

I think a cool spin-off of this would be to create two robots that can duel each other. Either some sort of Rock 'Em Soc 'Em setup ( http://www.amazon.com/Rock-Em-Sock-ROBOTS-Game/dp/B00005BY8V ) or maybe something like a tamer version of BattleBots.

I made this for a senior design project at UIUC. No web interface though. You controlled the robots via wireless sensors I designed to be worn on your arms.

I managed to hit 160. The reason 240 is the max score is that you only have enough time to get a maximum of 3 drops (2 is more likely) so you have to aim for the 80 with all 3 drops.
