Overview
Convert your previously built mobile robot into a true smart autonomous self-driving vehicle, and learn how to program it to race around a track all by itself without any remote control!
 
Prerequisite
You must have a previously built Mobile Manipulator Robot from Evodyne Robotics.
 
During this session each student will learn how to:
 
- Program their robot to autonomously navigate and pick up a randomly placed payload from a general designated area
- Then race around a previously unknown obstacle course without hitting the sides of the track
- While navigating turns  and avoiding "pedestrians" 
- Then deliver the payload to an unloading area
 
Students completing this session are automatically entered into   Evodyne's Autonomous Racing Tournament 2021, held on the weekend of Aug 7 and 8.
