SpriteArticulate1

Sprite, the compound articulated firefighting robot, shown here in extreme articulation. See action videos at www.youtube.com/user/PBRobotics

Sprite was designed for the Trinity Firefighting Contest. I wanted a bot that would be very stable while quickly steering around corners. The excellent roll stability comes from the compound articulation (it articulates on 2 points instead of one) and the semi-floating upper deck which keeps the upper assemblies toward the inside of the turn
