Mentor: Sandeep Pulim, Hua Guo

Students: [https://go.teamsnap.com/1873456/roster/player/29746205 Joey Egert] (Mech), Carl !McAlduff (CS/Electrical), Rohan Uttamsingh (CS/SW), Jacob Na, Luke Kadingo (Mech LIT)


The team purchased a [https://www.andymark.com/peanut-chassis-robot-drive-system-p/am-3417.htm peanut chassis] and need to design a robot around it that should include the drive base (the purchased kit), a control system, camera(s), sensors, and a mechanism to make it do something useful.

The peanut robots serve several purposes including providing a training and code-testing platform for control systems and a mobile platform for testing mechanisms.  Building these bots will give all participants a rough idea of what building a robot is really like, from the design to assembly to control and schedule to get it all working. These peanut bots should include or accommodate a mechanism, cameras, sensors, etc. to give the team the experience of building a real game robot.  This project may involve a mix of beginner and experienced students.
