Project Overview Chief Illinibot

• Presented by
• The Honor the Chiefbot Society and
• Combined Specialties Corporation

3
Project Goals

• The ultimate goal of the project is to educate,
  motivate, and promote love (wuv) and school pride
  on campus.
• The Chiefbot is fitting for the University
  because it is a symbol of our past heritage and a
  symbol of the future, a robot.

Why a Robot?
Project Goals Explained

• The University of Illinois has a proud history of
  developing state of the art technologies.
• Engineering is more practical and complicated
  then other disciplines, and therefore more worthy
  of celebration.
• Engineering almuni give the University money.

Why A New Mascot?
Project Goals Explained

• Current controversy divides campus resulting in
  inadequate amounts of love and pride within our
  community.
• The mystical and heroic Chief Illinibot will
  increase health and vigor of the student body and
  in effect, improve all of our lives.

Project Mission Statement

• The honor the Chiefbot society is intended to
  provide a unified voice for the thousands of
  students, faculty, alumni, and friends of the
  University of Illinois that support and value the
  Chief Illinibot tradition. Not only do we want to
  honor the Chiefbot, but we wish to offer a higher
  vision of the tradition and its future value, and
  encourage research and education efforts that
  preserve, respect, and reaffirm our Illinibot
  heritage

Description

• The project will consist of building a cardboard
  robot that is 9 feet tall and goes by the name
  Chief Illinibot. He will have a construction
  paper feather head dress and a chimney that
  releases pink glitter clouds. He will be manned
  by 4 people and constantly followed by crowds of
  proud adoring fans and puppies (and perhaps
  unicorns and dolphins.) He will travel around
  campus bringing cheer, love, happiness, success
  and arm hair tingles of pure exhilaration to all
  who see him.

Technology

• Technology being used
• The body of the robot will be made of high
  quality cardboard. Joints will be connected with
  duct tape. The head dress will be made of
  construction paper. Spray paint and glitter may
  also be used.
• Standards specifically being ignored
• While robots are traditionally made of metal we
  are consciously choosing to not use metal because
  we feel this will interfere with the Cheifbots
  mobility and rustic quality.

  of the University of Illinois Alcohol and
  Abraham Lincoln.
• Weaknesses

  of wuv
• If involved in a contest of strength Chief
  Illinibot would kick ass

Competitive Analysis

• Strengths
• The Farmbot combines another two symbols of the
  University agriculture and robots.
• Weaknesses
• Shooting corn does not promote lofty ideals.
• Jet pack not feasible.
• Butter releasing nipples are juvenile and
  offensive.

  commend itself to every Illinoisian. The Honor
  the Chiefbot Society implores you to look deep
  into your Illini heart for money to donate to
  this overwhelmingly worthy cause.
