Robot competed at Robot Challenge 2014 in Vienna, Austria. Robot completed without implementation of stabilisation algorithms that use 6DOF orientation sensors. It competed under name JT#1.
21 robots registered to competition, only 14 of them started on the day of competition. My robot got 7th place and was one of 3 robots that weren't bought as kits.
I am extremely satisfied with the results, because robot wasn't built for speed. Main goal was to mimic human walk.
Many people came to me on the day of competition and told me, that I should get special reward because it was only home made robot, that mimicked human walk.
Because rules of this competition I had to add head and arms. First I didn't like the idea and wanted to take the extras off when competition was over, but now I became fond of the look of giant yellow head and I'm not gonna take it off.
Robot was also first robot from Slovenia which participated at this competition in its 10 year history.
