Designer's Name	Robot's Name	Robot Description	Affiliation	Website URL	#
Canek Acosta	Arturito	Arturito is an omni-directional artillery fire robot, especially designed to take on the fearsome foe of Beer Pong. Capable of translating and rotating thanks to its omniwheels, and his fearsome launching device, Arturito is sure to become a Pong Champ. Furthermore, he can be taught to attack any target (based on color), so watch out Seminoles.	IMDL	http://plaza.ufl.edu/ackivo/	1
Nathan Blythe	TagBot	The TabBots are a collection of identical, competitive, autonomous, tag-playing robots.  Based around audible signal detection, obstacle avoidance, and synchronized inter-robot communication on collisions, any number of identically constructed robots can play tag in almost any arena.

Siddharth Garg	Chazer Gator	Chazer is an advanced autonomous search and destroy robot. Using his computer vision, Chazer can track, chase, and eliminate stationary or moving objects. Having an arsenal containing shear horsepower and an extremely accurate targeting mechanism, Chazer is capable of immense destruction.	IMDL	http://sites.google.com/site/ nitro3/projects/imdl-chazer	3
Aaron Fisher	Lazy Maid	The Lazy Maid  will clean a room by picking up blocks and returning them to a bin in the corner of the room. The Lazy Maid gets her name because she will stop working when she senses there is no one in the room.	IMDL	http://jivemat-robotics.com/	4
Yan Santos	Haro	Haro is a robotic companion purposely made to aide in military and reconnaissance missions. She can follow a wall and sense the presence of someone in a corner, track a path while making sure that the user is following and interact with the user using a pair of custom wireless virtual reality gloves.
