I'm a student, doing my Masters at the Robotics and Agents Research Lab at University of Cape Town, South Africa. My project is on implementing a 2D mapping system which will be used on a search-and-rescue robot so that emergency services can minimise their exposure to dangerous environments.

I currently have a range of (mostly competitive) bots:

1v1:

Melee:

Teams:

  • Twin Duel:
    • NightAndDay - Two bots, Night and Day, working together. They use a segmented GF gun with a careful choice of attributes to enable hitting non-perpendicular movement. They use Minimum Risk Movement. The only difference between them is the color.
