Today was the robot competition! After a late night of everyone doing last minute adjustments on their robots, we all woke up ready and raring to show off the hard work we accomplished over the past three weeks.
We learned so much about software and hardware development over the past few weeks and were able to sharpen our skills in CAD drafting, algorithm development utilizing C and C++, 3D printing, teamwork, and project management – and it was extremely fun and rewarding.
Although we dealt with the online server for our code complier being down for a little while, it was a fun morning and everyone was in good spirits as we watched some robots excel while other robots gave their inventors some attitude.
Below is a link to a video on Facebook page for the ZHAW School of Engineering, which is a short clip showcasing the robot competition, including the winning robot Brobot—look out for his cute little cap!
