MIT Operation 2.007 In the Spring of 2013, I participated in an MIT competition called Operation 2.007 against 92 other students. There were many innovative robots who participated, but ultimately the most consistent robot took the win. My robot, named Hot Dog, could be easily maneuvered and made the most points every time it competed. 25 points for picking up the wrench. 5 points for placing an object on the first shelf. 1 point for every rib put in the waste bin. The highest score Hot Dog achieved was 34 big points!

Hot Dog Hot Dog is the name of my robot. He is a very reliable young one whose consistency led him to an unforgettable win! Hot Dog was designed with a four-bar mechanism that allowed for easy control in the vertical axis. A servo controlled the gripper which could pick up a wide variety of objects and place them on higher ground. Currently, Hot Dog, is relaxing in the Bahamas after a career full of achievements and hard work. He is looking forward to his next adventure.
