Testing the robots involved making sure all the electronics functioned properly and seeing if the robots could perform the functions they were designed to do. The Hexapod's test was to see if it could create a walking motion, the Cybug's test was whether or not it went to the light inside the feeding station, and the Sumo-Bot's test was it's performance in the Manitoba Robot Games. The results of these tests proved positive and the criteria above was met.
The Hexapod had motion in it's leg's suitable for walking, the CYBUG was able to seek the light inside it's recharging house to re-energize it's battery, and the Sumo-Bot fared well in the competition, winning 3 out of 5 of it's matches, even through some tough competition.
Applications for the robots could include using a robot to work in conditions too hazardous for a person to work in such as land-mine areas, or extremely cramped spaces like during an earthquake search and rescue amongst piles of rubble.
Acknowledgements should be given to Mr. Kurz, Dan Robertson, and Brian Robertson for their patience and help in the completion of these robots.
