First Annual Robot Race Hosted at APRIL

May 1st was a great day for racing! Two daring teams came out to accept the challenge, and one walked away Robot Race Champion. The task was:

Given an APRIL robot, write a controller that followed a human carring a saber through a tricky obstacle course setup by our very own APRIL officials. The total time allotted was 2 hours, and each team had 3 people on it.

The competition was intense, each group had their eye on the prize. At half-way the teams were starting to see their robots move, and by race time it was anyones game. Each team had 3 timed trials through the course. In the end the Corso Lab Team were our winners. The goal was to get people out working together on robots, and seeing our robots in action was exciting. All our competitors did a great job! Stay tuned for when we will host our next robot race!
