Placed top 4 in the state in three events at the Connecticut competition at UConn: Robot Tour, Hovercraft, and Boomilever.

Robot Tour

  • Raspberry Pi Pico running MicroPython, with a custom motor driver and drivetrain module over I2C
  • PID-controlled drive to target distances, tuned starting from Ziegler-Nichols values
  • Threaded control loop so motion runs alongside the main program
