FEH 2006 Individual Robot Competion - G7

Round one of three in Individual (preliminary) Competition.

This is the best video of our robot.

The Ohio State University's honors freshmen engineering class includes a project where groups of four students build an autonomous robot (no remote controls!) to compete. The individual competition serves as seeding for the head-to-head competition. This video shows the robot built by G7, Team ELECTRIC, and its success in simulating working in a chemical plant in which it can:
1) collect a sample by pressing a tube on the wall
2) report the sample by pressing one of two buttons on the floor (button is determined by whether a small metal (acid) or large plastic (base) ball was collected)
3) shut off the spill by pressing one of two buttons on the wall (button is determined by the frequency of an IR signal), and
4) clean up the spill by moving all the spill balls to a drain in the floor

With the exception of two chemical spill balls being left behind in the corner of the course, this was a perfect run. Because of this run, we were ranked second overall (out of forty-nine teams), and gave us one of the four number one seeds for the final competition :)

It would have been... if our robot worked a little better. Instead we used distances from walls and just used the lines as occasional "triggers."

That's awesome. i'm in the regular, NON-HONORS, class, hopefully our roller coasters turn out sweet too.
