We're in the End Game now

It’s been a hectic few months - we’ve struggled at times to be motivated and get things done - but we’re back in action and working our way through integration heck to pull everything together.

Chris is pulling together our final styling:

Blayze is working on the final neural network training for the vision system:

Robbie is handling the design of our final launcher attachment:

At the moment every challenge I’ve programmed the simulator for can be solved and with Chris’ effort on the sensor board we’ve started integration testing. A fun few issues were had with trying to use the gripper crashing the software stack - we had bugs in both our codes! (Too frequent polling on my end and a missing global on Chris’.) Some great progress on the Escape Route though:

How well everything integrates together in practice is up for grabs. Maybe it’ll be great, or maybe wishful thinking. Whatever the outcome, we’ve had a fair bit of fun working on our robot and we’re all looking forward to Cambridge in a couple weeks time to share our work with everyone and see what everyone else has done as well!
