Pig Newton was a BEAM Speeder from California that competed at ROBOlympics 2004. It was based off of circutry by Wilf Ritger of Solarbotics. Pig Newton did very well in competition, winning the Gold Medal in its only appearance.
Despite this success Pig Newton did not return for any following competitions, as despite registering for RoboGames 2005-2007 it did not show up. The robots name was likely a pun on the snack "Fig Newton".
