Welcome to the home page of zekrit ninja phatapult

zekrit ninja phatapult is an autonomous robot designed for MIT's 6.270 competition over IAP. Over a month, we designed and built the phatapult, a catapult with all its pieces connected by lego that would compete against other robots in order to secure large juggling balls so they could rule over the universe.

Most robots pushed or pulled balls over to their side. Some of them erected giant walls to prevent the balls from coming over. We went a different road, that of the phatapult. Using an innovative zekrit ninja design, we aimed to become Master of the Universe by hurling balls over the heads of our competitors. We were beaten but we did win Organizer's Choice.
