- What tasks can your robot do?
- Is your robot available to the general public? (It doesn't have to be) If so, how much does it cost?
- Does your robot have any unique features?
- How does your robot get around?
- Does your robot have any current limitations? Is it fully functional, or is it a prototype?
- How does this robot help people?
- How does your robot work?
- What application was the robot designed for? Military? For fun? Rescue? Manufacturing?
3. Find at least two pictures of the robot and 1 video of the robot in action.
