The Task
|
For our ENPH 253 course, our instructors challenged us to build a fully autonomous robot that could navigate a course and perform a series of challenges.
Each robot had two minutes to rescue six trapped secret agents (bath toys) by avoiding an alarmed door, scaling a narrow ramp, rescuing the agents from platforms above a bucket of water and finally sending the agents back to safety down a zip line. The agents also drop into the water beginning at 60 seconds. During each run, a robot receives 1 point for each agent rescued from the bucket and 2 more points for each agent sent down the zip line. A run performed by our robot The Wee Baby Seamus can be seen in the video below. |
