Caltech and JPL Build 50ft Robot

Posted by michael on from the danger-will-robinson dept.

OctaneZ writes "NASA announced that they will enter, in cooperation with Caltech, a 50ft robot in the Rose Bowl Parade - unfortunately it will be made entirely of flowers and will not attempt to enslave the crowd. However, they have mounted a camera to it, which will allow you to view the parade from the top of their creation."

    California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo and Pomona created the Animation Category (the Governor's Trophy) in the Rose Parade well over 30 years ago, with the FIRST animated float in the parade.

    So, we - the alumni of Cal Poly welcome Cal Tech and JPL to the Rose Parade and the Animation Category - your just a few years late..... better late than never!

    PS - If you need any help - just call the ENGINEERS of Cal Poly!
