ifa Open House
We gave a short introduction about our robot at the ifa Open House.
Scientifica 2011
We presented our prototype to a broad audience at the Scientifica 2011.
Visitation of maxon motor in Sachseln
Our sponsor maxon motor invited us to visit their headquarters in Sachseln.
After an interesting tour through the manufacturing plant we got the opportunity to
present our prototype and to express our thanks for the support.
Award for team Traloc
We proudly announce that we received the Siemens PLM-Award 2011 for a precise and well structured
construction and outstanding FEM simulations with software provided by Siemens.
Successful Rollout
We had a successful presentation of our prototype at the Rollout. Here is a photography of the Traloc
being on stage taken by Tom Kawara.
Five elements assembled
We presented the complete robot to our sponsors and supporters. We are grateful for the help we got.
Inivtation to the Rollout
The official presentation of our robot will take place at the Rollout of the Focusprojects
on Tuesday, 31st May 2011 in the main building (HG) of ETH. For further details please refer to

Movies online
The first two movies of our robot can now be watched under media. One shows the locomotion of two elements, the other one provides an insight into the assembling of the robot.
First two elements moving
Two elements with tracks on one side are executing simple movements.
The tests have shown that the mechanical concept works. Now we can start
implementing more advanced steering routines including the sensor signals.
Element with two joints assembled
We have successfully mounted a first element with two joints.
Distribution gear assembled
All five gears of the drive train have been assembled and tested.
Parts are arriving
We are glad to announce that nearly all the parts have arrived. Soon we can start assembling the Traloc.
Parts ordered
All the parts of traloc have been ordered. Thanks to our sponsors for their support!
Construction completed
We are ready to start ordering parts.
Assembled the 3D Model of one joint
The original size model of a joint produced on a 3D-plotter shows the
functionality of the joint. Furthermore the model gives a first impression
of the size and appearance of the joint we are planning to construct.
