TargetBot
is the tackling dummy of our robotics team. Above anything
else, we’ve learned from competition that while a great
driver can have a lot of success with a mediocre robot, an
inexperienced driver can’t do much even with a spectacular
robot. Our solution was to whip up a sparring partner so that
we could train against a live opponent. TargetBot was the
result. He’s not much to look at, doesn’t move
all that quickly, and doesn’t have a weapon—but
he can take a punch. |
