Showcasing the 2018 LaBrae High School robotics team, the RoboVikes! This video is from the RED team and showcases their design solutions to the Mission to Mars challenge for this year's Northeast Ohio Robotics Education Program challenge, Mission to Mars. Teams have to make a presentation to a panel of judges, prepare a technical journal (outlining the engineering design process, a research paper, and program screenshots), and compete in two robotic games. Teams had to design a robot that would navigate through a maze built on a 4'x8' sheet of plywood and complete Games 2 (Stake Your Claim) & 3 (Defend Your Post). In Game 2, robots would start in the Start Zone pre-loaded with their flag. The teams would have to autonomously navigate to the other side of the table and deposit the flag completely within the white space of the Mars Landing Zone. The robots have to then pick up a "rock" from the MLZ and transport it to the Mars Lab Zone. In Game 3, robots would start in the Start Zone pre-loaded with their flag as well as six ping pong balls. The teams would have to autonomously navigate to the other side of the table and deposit the flag completely within the white space of the Mars Landing Zone. The robot then has to travel back to the target zone and launch the ping pong balls through the 12" hoop on the opposite side of the table. Both games require the robots to display total time taken and distance traveled upon completion.
