Objective:
To design and build an autonomous robot that can rescue stranded and
injured victims of a hurricane (wood peg toys) from random locations and
return them to either the hospital or storm shelter while avoiding
obstacles. Extinguishing a simulated
fire caused by down power lines also earns bonus points. The robots will have
a maximum time of 120 seconds in each of their four allotted trials. The robot must begin within an 8” X 12” X
10” high size limit but may expand to any size during a trial. An Exhibit Session will precede the robot
trials. See the 2019 Official Rules for full details (link to the right). Prizes: · The top three teams will receive nice plaques. · All participating team members will also receive copies of the student edition of SolidWorks. SolidWorks Sponsorship: If your team would like to obtain SolidWorks in advance for designing their robots, you can apply for a sponsorship (free software) at: http://www.solidworks.com/sw/education/design-competitions-mcad-students.htm - Select “Click here for team sponsorship.” Even though this competition is not in the list, you can select Other Competition. |
