This robot had to be able to move around in a specific environment - along an infinity shape - and it had to stay on the line. It was a simple set of extrusions with a four-wheel drive with grip wheels attached to core-hex motors. Here is a video of the robot:
This was a robot that had to shoot a ball into a goal. We just attached two ultraplanetary motors to a base, and fired at full speed! Here is the video:
The goal of this robot was to be able to pick up an object and keep it steady while moving around - lifting it off the ground. Unfortunately we could not find a video of this robot.
This robot had to be able to lift itself up. In order to acheive this, we used gears along with a hook that gripped around a bar - and then we would pull the robot up. Here is the video:
The CubeSat sub-challenge was a lot more interesting. We had to build a CubeSat that would be able to collect data about its surroundings. We used an arduino nano with a wireless shield, a temperature sensor, a light sensor, a microphone, and a UV sensor. We also used a 3D printer to print the box for the CubeSat. Here is a picture of the CubeSat:
We came up with an algorithm that would collect data from the sensors, connect to a WiFi network, and send the data to my server (api.z3db0y.com) - which is no longer running. We would then be able to retrieve the data from the server by sending a GET request and we created an ElectronJS app that would display the data in a graph. Here are some pictures:
