At the beginning of the Fall
Semester in 2011 teams of students from the Engineering
and Computer Science Departments at Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University and Bethune-Cookman University
began the development of robots designed to compete at the
Robotic Competition at SoutheastCon 2012. These
robots were required to meet very stringent design rules
and had to be capable of operating in an autonomous mode
over a challenging course. Each of the student teams
designed, constructed and programed their robots over the
winter in order to meet the March 15th Deadline. On
March 15th and 16th the ERAU and BCU teams competed with
robotic teams from approximately 40 Universities and
Colleges representing the major engineering schools in the
Southeast Region of the United States.
Speakers:
Members of ERAU's and BCU's Robotic Teams. The members of
each robotic team will explain the design of their robot,
and indicate the engineering techniques they employed to
make their robots competitive. Finally they will
demonstrate the actual robot hardware. The
development and construction process, necessary to build
these machines, has required a great amount of time and
energy from these students, and I know the people
attending the meeting will enjoy their efforts.
