We will have a robotic arm that can be used to pick up candy in order to display a use of robotics in a fun way. We will also have another small autonomous robot (such as a BoeBot or LEGO NXT) to display autonomous navigation of a field of obstacles. We will hopefully have at least a prototype of our team's competition robot with a display to tell kids a bit about our team.
NASA sponsors a competition every year called the Lunabotics Mining Competition. We have a team of seniors in Spacecraft Design and several underclassmen who design and build a robot that mines a Lunar Regolith simulant and navigates a field of obstacles. Dr. Kevin Shinpaugh is our advisor.
