2nd Place In Speedway Competition!

Note: Transfered from the news archive, originally posted Oct. 1st 2008

Our autonomous ground vehicle team placed second today in the 2008 Small Robot Autonomous Speedway Competition, in which we were required to navigate an elliptical course made of orange cones. Our car succeeded in following a cone path accurately about 1 a.m. today, and we spent this morning adapting the vision and control software to work in bright sun. We will meet this Thursday at 5 p.m. in A.V. Williams room 1203 to start designing our next land robot and to consider entering other competitions.
