We're taking on AnyBots

Hi All, We built a prototype telepresence robot to go up against AnyBots. We're using an iPad as the control system and for FaceTime video conferencing. It took us a couple weeks to make. We demoed it this morning for the first time: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2BXM9PYaXY0 The next version will be taller and thinner. What do you think? Do we stand a chance against AnyBots? Thanks, David

We're taking on AnyBots launched on June 6, 2011 with 5 votes, #63 of 181 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 15 years on.
