The purpose of this project is to provide an opportunity to apply all that we have learned in CMPE 118 to solve an open-ended problem. Our task is to build an autonomous robot that will navigate the game field, locate and shoot your dueling opponent (using your ping pong ball ammo), and either win by points or with a very well-aimed decapitation shot.
A small village of farmers find themselves beset by raiding bandits who torment the villagers and steal their crops. One villager overhears the bandits planning their next attack, and brings this terrible news to the village. After much discussion, the villagers resolve to hire gunslingers to protect the village. However, the farmers are poor, and cannot come up with enough money to hire the mercenaries they need for protection. One of the younger farmers has heard of strange electro-mechanical automata called ‘droids, and is convinced that they are the answer. Now, it’s up to you, the Slugnificent Seven: can the Mechatronics class develop dueling droids that will defend the village?
Their fate is in your hands.
