Stairbot

The Challenge

An urban environment is a fairly common setting in which a robot may find itself. The urban setting provides the relatively level surface on which most robots excel. However, the urban environment contains an obstacle that stops most robots in their tracks; this simple obstacle is the stair.

RobOrchestra will be playing in Skibo Cafe this Friday (11/20) from 6pm to 8pm. The show will include their instrument-playing robots, featuring:
- old favorites: BassBot, XyloBot, and SnareBot
- veteran back from retirement: Flutophone
- new faces: Whamola and High Hat

Come to the show to hear a great selection of songs, including Flight of the Bumblebee and Mr. Roboto. We hope to see you there!

Stay tuned for an update after the show (with video for those who couldn't be there).
