Pathfinder

This group will be hardest of all 3 in this competition. Aren't you glad there's loads of information on the web?. Still stuck for ideas, well this book may may be of use to you.

This is a picture of my (Gary's) robot that will hopefully be finished for the competition, category pathfinder.

If you would like to know how this robot is made, ask me in the Mail list.
