Tech is hosting this competition, and by building a device we will be able to test the track and display our device during an exhibition. This competition is borrowing our track design, but since we are not hosting it, our robot can compete. If everything goes as planned, it will.
New members are still welcome.
The device is basically a simple robot that uses sensors to perform a task. In this case the task is to place metal balls in the proper places on a specially designed track. The construction of the track is currently in progress. The end product will display scoring in real time on a projected computer display. Go to the IEEE site for all the details on the competition.
