  • Humanoid Appearance:  To be built to nearly life-size scale (4-5 ft tall).  Proof of Concept will be controlled remotely by a human operator; it should exhibit an animated demeanor and a congruity of motion so as to deceptively seem, to a casual observer, autonomous or even self-aware.
  • Mobility:  Device will be able to self-propel on a reasonably flat surface, and through obstacles comparable to a human.
  • Dexterity:  Included "Robot Arm" module will be able to turn a standard wall light switch on and off, and to open and shut a standard-sized room door, navigate through it, and close the door after itself.
  • Lift / Transport Capacity:  Device should have no problem lifting an object weighing up to 10 lbs off of the floor and transporting it to another location (interior to exterior or vice-versa).  This requirement shall not necessarily be met by the "Robot Arm" module; that is to say that the robot arm shall not be required to lift 10 lbs off of the floor in addition to performing its dexterous features.  It could be achieved by building another opposable robot arm, or even by attaching a non-appendage apparatus to the chassis.
  • Cost:  Total cost of all electrical and mechanical components not to exceed $750, excluding PC Controller, skeletal components, fastener hardware, or containers to be used as chassis.  Cost does not include "Engineering Contingency"; i.e., if a $20 motor controller catches on fire and has to be replaced by a more robust $75 motor controller, the $75 will be added to the final cost but not the $20.
