Latest revision as of 18:32, 15 October 2015
The ASEE (American Society for Engineering Education) is hosting a robot design competition on June 27, 2016, in New Orleans, LA. The competition is for first and second year undergraduate students.
See the Official Rules posted on the | ASEE Model Design Competition 2016 page.
This year's competition, "Robot Parade" (NOLA, get it?), gives robots four trials of 90 seconds each to deposit rings into boxes along a route inside of a maze.
