This past weekend we competed in the Trinity College International Robot Contest in which our robot won the IEEE Connecticut Outstanding Robot Award for the senior division! This award is given to “outstanding Connecticut-made robots based on the ability of the team to work together and solve clever engineering problems.” We are very proud to have our work recognized and appreciated by the IEEE Connecticut section. Performance-wise, the contest didn’t go as well as we had hoped, having no completed runs, but we are very proud of the level of intelligence of our robot. Our downfall in the contest was not a lack of ability of our robot, but in the nitty-gritty rules and setup of the contest that are not representative of real-life situations. We have some more fine-tuning and tweaking to do, but we know that our robot is capable. Our team is looking forward to demo day, where we will be able to better demonstrate the full capability of our robot.
