yes but it's currently not that fun. it's like watching cars on the highway. it relies on beacons and rf for sensing the track. like watching those sumo robot videos on youtube. fun for a short time
Need to add an open class, with firearms and flamethrowers and acid shooters. That would make it fun longer.
Geez, I feel dirty saying this, but you could probably get some... ahem.... sponsors from 3-letter agencies
When I was at school we were supposed to build a robot that put out a candle. Basically an LDR guided squirter.
Mine used an aerosol and a lighter until I got told off. Someone had to relight the candles.
So that idea is right up my street :)
those are fun and done inside a maze. which makes super cool. though the candle is stationary. including a moving target is like playing tag as a blind person (wi th the current affordable tech).
that would make it less exciting. the rush of autonomous competitions is trying to outsmart the others in terms of code
More exciting, to watch
I haven't seen any completely autonomous quads racing. Can you give me a link?
I work in a little robotics lab and have seen it first hand. No links to video due to policy, sorry.
