Our first ever house robot was our dog called “Gripper”. Back in 2005 he was created and enjoyed chewing on all the featherweights at all of our events. Constructed for entertainment purposes rather than all out destruction roboteers didn’t fear him until their robot had disappeared inside his jaw and found out how powerful he really was.
