"It Borgs and It Fries"
Design a robot that is capable of autonomously navigating in a 3x8ft field and completing a series of tasks including contacting an "igniter", sliding a "pot" on a linear rail, and scoring multiple nerf balls in the "pot". Each team of four is provided with an Arduino and 2 batteries. Each team would come up with the optimum strategy to score the most balls within 2 minutes and 10 seconds in order to be crowned the winner of the final competition. The team designed from scratch the drivetrain, the mechanical chassis, various mechanisms, the circuitry, and developed the Arduino code.
