PHINeas is a professional curling bot who came to life in March of 2026. Due to the lovely colorful appearance PHINeas became known as Pincess Bubblegum Cotton Candy.
Our robot competed in the Stanford Curling Olympics, valiantly fought through 5 rounds of matches and took home the Silver.
a load of wires. a load of love.
Our Professors signed us up as a curling team for the Winter Olympics in 2026. Naturally as we are not athletic enough, we built a robot for the job:) And we took the silver home!
Main requirements:
build a bot from scratch that can compete in a curling competition on the arena (see left)
shoot out 8 pucks at the target, no more than 3 at a time
start in corner, within specific dimensions, with random placement and orientation
no human intervention whatsoever during the competition
