2.007 Robot Competition

Project Overview

2.007 (Design and Manufacturing I) is MIT’s robot design course. Each student designs, builds and tests their own robot, then enters it in an end-of-semester competition. My task was to make a robot that could navigate the obstacle course and complete tasks to score points.
