Projects - Robo500
Robo500 Spring (April 3rd)
The design of the spring track
will cause the robots a little more trouble to navigate than a simple oval,
but it shouldn't be too difficult to still make a simple robot which can make
it all the way around.
Each robot will run in a time trial, and then (if the owner desires) will
compete with all the other robots in one massive rumble.
Many people work on their own robots, but the Club has a robot all members
can help build, if you are unsure of time commitment or skill.
