Cornell Cup presented by IntelĀ is a college-level embedded design competition that ends with a two-day event at Walt Disney World. For our project, we will be working closely with the California Wolf Center to develop a mobile platform for capturing close-quarters footage of the wolves at night. This platform will allow the researchers at the Wolf Center to capture unique, rare footage that will enhance their understanding of the wolves' behavior. The platform will utilize Night Vision and Thermal cameras for navigation and reconnaissance while overcoming terrain challenges including a high level of inclination, holes, and large rocks. The platform will also require key design choices in order to protect the hardware from the wolves as well as to protect the wolves from injury if they should engage with the platform. This will be a fun and exciting year for Engineers For Exploration and the Terrestrial Vehicle project as well as for the researchers at the California Wolf Center! + +[![]({{'/assets/2013-11-25-wolf2.jpg' | resize: '200x300'}})]({{'/assets/2013-11-25-wolf2.jpg' | absolute_url}}) +[![]({{'/assets/2013-11-25-wolf.jpg' | resize: '200x300'}})]({{'/assets/2013-11-25-wolf.jpg' | absolute_url}}) + +For more information on the Cornell Cup visit [https://www.systemseng.cornell.edu/intel/](https://www.systemseng.cornell.edu/intel/) + +For more information on the California Wolf Center visitĀ [https://www.californiawolfcenter.org/](https://www.californiawolfcenter.org/) diff --git a/assets/2013-11-25-image009.png b/assets/2013-11-25-image009.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bffa72da Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/2013-11-25-image009.png differ diff --git a/assets/2013-11-25-wolf.jpg b/assets/2013-11-25-wolf.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..65593fbd Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/2013-11-25-wolf.jpg differ diff --git a/assets/2013-11-25-wolf2.jpg b/assets/2013-11-25-wolf2.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d137fca8 Binary files /dev/null and b/assets/2013-11-25-wolf2.jpg differ
