      The #OttoREMIXChallenge winners!

      · Events

      I’m so incredibly excited about this challenge we made, not only because of all of this robots around me but because of the potential of what Otto is becoming thanks to the participation of the community.

      Before the challenge there were already some really good robot remixes, you show us that you can design and create new Ottos, but with this challenge we wanted to reach the true potential with more creativity, having a good documentation and giving incentives to promote a fun competition.

      You just show us that you can make very innovative Ottos thanks to all sharing our knowledge together in an open matter, that was the main reason for this challenge. We team up with Wikifactory as a host for the documentation and main promoter, to make a very fun and rewarding challenge.

      what happened?

      So we came together as a community to create the next generation of educational robots. We see all kinds of submissions from very simple cute ones to advanced mechanisms and shapes altogether but most importantly, an organized database of open robots in Wikifactory that contribute into making robotics education more accessible to anyone in the world.

      To check the details of what was the contest about the rules, process, invited judges and criteria for evaluation please check this previous post on this topic: https://www.ottodiy.com/blog/challenge

      Before the challenge there were mainly 37 projects related to Otto (collected from 2016 at least the ones in Wikifactory) now in a few months thanks to this challenge, there are over 73 projects and more than 100 re-designs, remixes or similar robots inspired by Otto out there, i believe, we need to organize them together, please help us!.

      We double it! maybe the numbers don't sound like many compared with other design competition?

      We see the success in the quality of the participants, creativity and most important good documentation.
