RFL AI-01 Ultimate Football Machine

It's gotta be the Ultimate Football Machine to live up to the promise. And it does! I wish I could send you to the new CwhatIcanDo.com website to see the whole project. You can sneak a peek...



While you charge the batteries (getting ready for the full experience.) Put the extenders on your bot and it will surprise you just how well it will be able to stand up "around the house." My bumpy back deck is a favorite robot test area, as you know from all the videos. In the "out of the box" video above, you will see the bot in the raw, out of the box, so to speak. I recommend, unless you are putting one of these bots into a real RFL American Football Robot Game, put the extenders on. You have to charge the battery anyway, so you might as well start with the extenders, it will run better on carpets, in fact most bumpy surfaces around most houses.



This is one tough bot. I'm thinking it is a candidate for a really great bot body. It does everything I hoped DogBot would do, like climb the hill in front of my house. It can stop on a hill. It has enough power to last long enough for an hour's walk. Did I mention it is tough? Mega thick reinforced plastic frame parts can take a drop, and a hit from another robot. Now I'm rethinking that robot that I take on walks with me.

I played around with the upright robot base enough to appreciate the balance and power transfer to the wheels and all that. With the extenders, this baby could negotiate sidewalks and my back deck, it's still fairly light and easy to grab and haul up on the curb. So now it is the candidate for my own cyber pet...
