HACK

Tags:
Category: Rolling
Progress: Completed
Cost: $120
Time to Build: 6 months

Hack was my first mini sumo, which I worked on with my dad (who admittedly did the majority of the work). It was simply a Mark I kit, provided by Marvin Green, that we strung together the night before the contest. It went an amazing 3W and 2L, my best robot record yet. It was given its namesake because we hacked a 486 motherboard for resistors.
