And did we already mention that you get to win the RoboDog and other prizes!
Timeline?
Submit your ideas by Oct 19th
Best ones will be selected and announced on Oct 26th We help to refine your idea further to be ready for the open-door finals at Startup Sauna on 2nd of November.
The challenge?
See our challenges and prizes below!
Each challenge is separated into two age brackets 0-16 and 17+.
DressUp
We all have played dressing up as kids, either dressing our dolls, or our pets.
Robots are cold, not only in their heart but on the outside as well. How would you cover up the cold metallic skin of the RoboDog and make it more cuddly?
Design a dress or a garment or a “second skin” for the robodog to make it more soft, or functional!
You can submit a brief description of your idea or vision. You can surprise us by knitting your design!
DressUp
Make the robotic dog look pretty or feel comforting
Additive.tech
3D-printed accessories that fit on the dog.
Design a printable shield, a door-breaching tool, or a Nerf turret, or any insane attachment! If you can design it, and it’s printable (at least in theory), we will accept it. You can surprise us by printing your design (we can help, of course!)!
Make sure the final part (undeployed) must not stick out 12 centimeters further from the robodog’s skin
Additive.tech
Print accessories, what and how and where
NimbleDog
Reduce the weight of structural components with 3D-printed ones.
The RoboDog is a robust, metallic, mean machine. Weighing upwards of 12 kilograms, it is not easy to be tamed.
How can you take off the load? Maybe SLS printed parts for replacing metal legs? Go nuts and let’s see if the RoboDog falls for your bone.
NimbleDog
