Welcome to the introductory project for the Duke Robotics Club! This is an interdisciplinary project that will require collaboration between members in all teams. The idea is to build, from scratch, a mini bot capable of moving around, as well as reacting to the environment using a camera. It will involve mechanical work to design and manufacture a chassis, electrical work to put together all of the components, as well as CS work to actually program the bot.
The goal of this project is to teach critical thinking and problem solving. This means that you may need to take initiative and look things up, read documentation for certain details, etc. You will be given a goal and some instructions, and expected to problem solve from there.
Part 3: Computer Vision (TODO)
Part 4: Integration 1 (TODO)
Part 5: Integration 2 (TODO)
This is the first time we are trying this project, so there will be technical difficulties! We will do our best to work with you on these problems, and when we do solve them please put an entry in the Q & A page. This will allow other people to benefit from your newfound knowledge, and debug the problem themselves.
