We had several great entries for the Walking Robot competition at BrickCon.

Third place:  Bryan Bonahoom at 70.55 seconds
Second place: Steve Putz     at 39.54 seconds
First place:  Gus Jansson    at 30.79 seconds

As they've done for so many previous competitions, HiTechnic provided a sensor
for the winner. Thank you, HiTechnic!

The winner of the HiTechnic prize for the Walking Robot competition was Steve
Putz.

Steve will be able to choose his free sensor by going to
http://www.hitechnic.com. (You can order sensors there too!)

Congratulations to all who entered!
