Six middle-school students from the Hershey Montessori Farm School in Huntsburg, Ohio, have built an autonomous robot to compete in the Spring 2001 LEGOTM myTM Egg-OTM Robotic Egg Hunt at the Great Lakes Science Center.
Students worked weekly for 4 months under the supervision of Glenn Emelko, Coordinator of the LEGO Mindstorms Study Group at Hershey Montessori. Their robot was built to follow the published rules for CWRU's Egg Hunt.
The robot contains 2 RCX boards, but only one of them is actually used. Originally, the students planned to have both boards controlling the robot, and communicating to each other in a master/slave configuration. However, they never got around to writing the inter-board communication software, so the second board is just a static part of the robot frame.
The students who designed and built the robot (with their ages) are:
