We began with a kid-size humanoid robot, but to compete in the Teen Size category we needed a completely new platform. I designed this robot by drawing inspiration from our kid-size model, as well as NAO, DARwIn-OP, and human golden-ratio proportionOPs.
The kid-size platform gave us a clear baseline for joint alignment, actuator range, and overall body proportions. Analyzing its performance on grass, weight distribution, and kicking stability helped define the mechanical requirements for the teen-size robot.
