Swiss Chef on display at Kilobots XLIII
Swiss Chef was a Kilobot class robot built by Red Spark Robotics, and one of the original five kilobot-class robots to debut during the first Kilobots event. Swiss Chef used a very wide "eggbeater" style vertical spinner as its main weapon, mated to a variety of drive setups. Over the course of five years of competition, Swiss Chef accrued a very strong competition record prior to its retirement in 2008, easily being one of the most successful kilobot-class machines ever built. Although it has been over ten years since it last saw battle, Swiss Chef is frequently put on display at modern Kilobots events.
