That website was making young humanoid crazy! (Not really, he just took a lot of inspiration from it) The site hosted a competition, and young humanoid entered. The competition theme was a robot that carried a camera. Young humanoid made this:
This robot was mobile, and carried a camera. You might be wondering why did it have two ultrasonic sensors, and why was one in such a lofty position?

If only the bottom ultrasonic sensor saw it, it would follow the line more distance, then take a picture.
