The overall objective for our senior project is to build two fully autonomous robots to compete in the 2011 IEEE Region 5 Student Robotics Contest. This project was chosen to encompass a wide array of subjects taught in the curriculum specific to Electrical & Mechanical Engineering. Building two fully autonomous robots under certain project restrictions requires knowledge of Mechanics, Electric Drives, Control Systems and Image Processing in particular to finish the project as outlined. These subjects were reinforced through the research, design, and implementation stages of this project. The ultimate goal of the project is to create a mobile robot which will traverse a predetermined field from a starting point to one or more energy sources. The robot will then charge its energy storage device with extracted energy from the source, and then bring it to a flag mechanism to raise the flag. This competition is timed to complete the task within 5 minutes. The height of the flag, completion time, and contacted energy sources will be used to judge the robots in the competition. |

Our task is to create a robot that can perform a specified task on a predefined playing field, all the while building in within a realistic budget. On the playing field will be various renewable energy sources. Our goal is to locate the source desired, harvest the energy from that source using our robot, and do so within the allotted timeframe. |
| Team-3 |
Our purpose is to create a robot that complies with the rules handed out by the committee and to build the most efficient, top performing robot among all others. Some project requirements for this are a background in mechanical engineering to understand basic kinematics and locomotion for the robot to move easily and efficiently. Another requirement for the project is a background in electrical engineering, using programming skills to adjust aspects of the robot because the robot has to be completely autonomous. Also, being able to store the energy necessary to move the objective (the flag) upwards is necessary to get maximum points for the round. the goal. |

The purpose of this competition is to design and build an autonomous robot that will store and transfer energy to a specific flag source. The robot must autonomously find the power sources, draw power, and then locate and discharge the energy to the flag source. The height of the flag and the time taken will determine the winner of the competition.. |
