Inspiration

We were not sure of what we wanted to do for the 2017 Hackathon. Brendan and I came without plans, without preparation, but not without hope. Allying ourselves with Clark and Aaron, we strove to dominate the challenge of the robot.

What it does

The robot consistently follows lines of magnetic tape on the ground, avoiding obstacles and staying true to its path.

How we built it

We were provided with the materials, but the construction was our job. Through sweat, toil, and tears, we built our project.

Challenges we ran into

Everything in the project was a challenge. The language, the building, the very existence of the robot itself was a torment to our very souls. But we overcame.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We did this!

What we learned

We learned that robots are particularly malevolent when they want to be, and they don't like to listen very well.

What's next for Hackathon AGC Project

We will probably never compete together again. Alas, our time was short, but sweet. And forever we shall remember this crowning achievement.
