Levi and Tanner came up with a great first challenge for our robotics cars. The general idea is to autonomously navigate from the Buchanan building east entrance foyer, through the dev room, up the ramp to the lab, out through the Star Wars hallway, down the stairs (there will be a ramp), past the bathrooms and all the way through the west hallway to the east entrance foyer.

General rules

• Use any language you want
• Your bot must navigate autonomously, you cannot provide user controls while it’s navigating.
• You can use any sensors on the existing bot. You cannot draw on the floor for the grayscale sensor. You must be able to navigate the every day environment (except for the ramp down the stairs)
• You must be able to avoid or generally navigate around objects in its path (desks, chairs, etc).

Thoughts…

From Luke: this is essentially doing what a Roomba does. You will likely need to create and/or store a set of boundaries or map that you navigate within so your car has an outline to remain within.

Ordered a couple of these guys a few weeks ago and they just showed up. Pretty slick running the RP 2040 which is becoming a favorite microcontroller for me. Going to see what we can come up with to deploy some client code to this one.
