CyberTrek

Inspiration

Our inspiration was a mutual love for storytelling, adventure, and robots. We wanted to combine software, and hardware. We were trying to find the perfect intersectionality between these shared interests and that's how we invented CyberTrek.

What it does

CyberTrek bridges the gap between the virtual and physical worlds. Navigate your way home through unexpected twists and terrain, and then control a real-world robot to bring your adventures to life, and complete your journey home, all in one unforgettable experience.

How we built it

We built it using Python on replit and optimized graphic user interfaces such as turtle. We also used the DJI robomaster to add another element to our game.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into multiple issues with the graphic user interfaces. Since we are beginners in the web development space, it was definitely hard to figure out how GUI’s work and how to optimize the turtle feature for visuals.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our use of DJI Robomaster in our project. Although it is a fairly easy robot to figure out, it was our first taste of hardware in a hackathon project. What makes us proud is that we were willing to push through our confines to learn something new and develop new passions!

What we learned

We learned to persevere through an ideas block. Initially we were struggling to find a project that was best suited for our both our creative and intellectual abilities but after talking to mentors and other teams, we seemed to have more clarity on our priorities. As a result we were able to finish the hackathon with a finished project.

What's next for CyberTrek

Adding new visuals, and working on a game built to serve the robomaster. It not only makes for a fun pastime but also serves the primary demographic- scratch users, robotic gamers, and anyone who’d have fun playing around with the robo master.
