You have selected A: Rudy Michael Freeman's first robot was RUDY, a robot he designed and entered into the Westinghouse Science Fair. Rudy was a mechanical robot that could walk around by using a tether and wheels, and could remember where it went so that later on, it could re-trace its steps. Kind of like a mouse in a maze where it had rudimentary learning ability. Rudy won first place!
