2.007 Robot Competition
For a class we were tasked with building a robot with the goal of scoring the most points in the competition at the end of the semester. The competition replicated a ski slope so robots could score points by climbing the hills, removing flags on the slopes and retrieving medals from the stands. The class taught us many elements of design and prototyping.
