Active Blundering Robots:

Issy

The Green Machine Reloaded, Xr-B7, is the next-generation fire fighter, built for Trinity 2009. It is built on some of the same technologies that made LGM3 a winner last fall at the CNRG. Details forthcoming.

Xr-B7/GMR

The Green Machine Reloaded, Xr-B7, is the next-generation fire fighter, built for Trinity 2009. It is built on some of the same technologies that made LGM3 a winner last fall at the CNRG. Details forthcoming.

Xr-B3

XR-B3 is designed to be a long-term reconfigurable research platform robot. It is powered by a custom controller board, using an ATMEGA324P and XBEE wireless. Sensory array includes IR, sonar and an AVRcam. Software includes AVRRA w/ X-SERIES control.

Retired Blundering Robots:

Crater

Crater is a low-cost fire fighting robot (<$120), which won the 2009 Trinity Fire Fighting Robot Contest, senior division. He also won the Cost-Effective award.

Xr-B4/LGM3

XR-B4 was my entry for the 2008 Trinity Fire Fighting Robot Contest. Using an ARC V1.1 circuit board, B4 is equipped with an ATMEGA16 microcontroller, differential drive, a heat-seeking pyroelectric sensor, and an UVTron to detect flames.

Xr-B2/LGM2

XR-B2 was developed for 2006 Trinity Fire-Fighting Contest. It was the last robot to use a Cypress PSoC. Here at blundering that is, well, maybe the last in the world... not too many people fighting with PSoCs out there...

Xr-B1

XR-B1 was a table-sized test platform robot based on an OOPic controller and modified servos. Notable as one of the first enclosed bots here at Blundering. Also, the last modified servo driven bot.

Xr-B0/LGM

The original Little Green Machine, the LGM competed in the 2003 Trinity Fire Fighting contest. LGM failed to qualify due to numerous mechanical and electrical failures. This bot is the embodiment of everything not to do...

Xr-A4

A4 is the resident test bot here at Blundering. It uses an ATmega168 and solarbotics gear motors. This bot is the reference design for AVRRA and the XR-SERIES control system.

Upcoming Blundering Robots:

REX

REX is blundering's PC-based, python-programmable robot.
