Created as an entry for the Mechastruct contest, I created a row-bot. The row-bot is designed to, well, row. :-) There really isn't that much it does do other than row.

Not only does it row, but it also can get out of the boat. Not really that useful of the robot, so it's an entry in the Useless Robots portion of the contest.

This is the result of the portable bot factory ideas generated on the Lugnet newsgroup, as well as an entry to the contest. He's so useless that he doesn't even paddle in water (you can't get very far on the carpet or hardwood floors by boat), or even sit in the right direction sometimes.

Oh yeah, if you're looking for the Mechastruct contest, it's been over since the end of 2002, so I can't find any details anymore on it.
