Welcome to our 6.270 website for MIT's Autonomous Robot Design Competition. This course seeks to teach the design process through the design, construction, and control of a LEGO robot.

Each student is provided with the same tool kit and the same resources to build a robust, functional robot. There are several distinct elements required in this process. The robot must be constructed out of the provided LEGO pieces. The team is given a budget of sensor points to purchase electronics for interfacing with the outside world. Finally, the robot must be programmed to be completely autonomous.

This website is a summary of a month of designing, building, and programming. It includes an overview of this year's contest and our robot design.
