Inspiration

Wanted to build on the knowledge from last year's Moon Rover and adapt to this year's challenge

What it does

• Robot autonomously navigates to survivor group avoiding obstacles and brings them back to base

How we built it

• Re-used mBot robot
• Leveraged our solution with the LRT Detour challenge
• Build -> Test -> Fix -> Refine

Challenges we ran into

• line following ability of robot depended greatly on room lighting and track properties
• Speed and accuracy of robot needed to be adjusted constantly
• Sensor reactivity
• Needed to seek clarification sooner on rules

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• made several improvements over the design cycle to ensure that the shortest path was taken to avoid unnecessary detours

What we learned

• We learned many things throughout this challenge including perseverance, coding, research skills and teamwork

What's next for IEEE Ottawa Robotics Competition Arduino Challenge

• Looking forward to future challenges!
