Competition

HazRadBot on F 05/01/2015
- Goal: Develop an electrically-driven mobile manipulator capable of recovering simulated hazardous materials from mock disaster site.
- Robot will perform recovery task under combination of tele-operation and autonomous behavior.
Move-A-Tube on F 03/27/2015
- Goal: Develop an electrically-driven mobile manipulator capable of moving tubes from one stand to another.
- Remote control must be made of parts provided with kit and/or common electrical components (e.g., potentiometers, switches).
Robot Triathlon (RoboCross, RoboReckoning, RoboGiotto) on Th 12/04/2014
- Goal: Develop an electrically-driven robot capable of
  - RoboCross - (Custom) Tethered remote control through course of cones spaced a minimum of 16 inches apart;
  - RoboReckoning - Autonomously drive straight for specified distance that ranges from 1 - 8 feet; and
  - RoboGiotto - Autonomously drive in circle of specified radius that ranges from 1 - 4 feet.
- Venue: Atrium of Fidel Center.
- Constraints: $5 maximum on personally-supplied parts; dimensions of less than 16in wide x 16in long x 20in tall; and sole power supply is AA battery pack provided.
Robot Crawl Challenge on Th 10/09/2014
- Goal: Develop a remote-controlled, battery-powered, electrically-driven chassis capable of traversing obstacles representative of a hazardous environment.
- Venue: Tiles with obstacles placed outside Cramer Hall.
- Constraints: $5 maximum on personally-supplied parts; dimensions of less than 16in wide x 16in long x 20in tall; sole power supply is AA battery pack provided.
- Evaluation Criteria (weighted equally):
  1. Drive Functionality (remote control, forward, reverse, turns, variable speed)
  2. Obstacle Traversing Capability (number and difficulty of tiles/obstacles traversed)
  3. Design Quality (robustness, efficiency, reliability)
