O our robot-building adventures started May 15, 2018, the start of the summer semester with a full course load. We, four second year Engineering Physics students passionate for innovation, aspired to combine our knowledge to create not one, but two autonomous robots. Although we did not win the competition, we learned many things along the way.
“Let’s start with a boss extrude”
“Time to cut another chassis”
“Give the stormtrooper a seatbelt!”
“How many fuses have we blown so far?”
