Our pal Jeri Ellsworth got to don the telepresence rig for the Anybots robot. Cool stuff. My favorite part of the vid is this exchange:

Jeri: “I’m scared to crash it”
Anybots’ Trevor Blackwell: “You should be.”

Now that’s no way to instill confidence! :-)

I have to say that standing there, I was both amazed and also terrified of being run over by a large, mostly metal robot. :-)

Actually I built a machine when I was 14 that had this type of scoring. I quickly showed how it worked for the show on a piece of fiber board.
