This robot of JPL is suspiciously similar of my original concept robot X-VEAAT eXperimental Vehicle Explorer Adaptable

All Terrain designed, contructed on 2004 and presented (before of ATHLETE) in Campus-Party 2005 and 2006 of Valencia,

Spain.

David Calkins, president of Robotics Society of America and interest for my design... was in Campus Party 2006 in Valencia and see my robot and idea.

see my robot in this pages..
