The Game
Penn State Abington Hosts an annual
Robo-Hoops Competition that challenges their competitors to design
and build autonomous robots to play head-to-head basketball.
The 2007 PID Strategy
Speed Goal - Be capable to score first in less than 4 seconds.
Active Defense - Create a invisible detection zone in front of robot to
defend area around net. Also have alternate program to defend back line
from potential shooting robots. In other words if another robot crosses PID's
path use the robot's speed to intercept and gently push opponent away from
scoring.
Robust Design - Design chassis to stand ground when defending and push
with power, but not be aggressive to harm opponents robots.
Team News
Team PID will not be attending Robo-Hoops 2008 due to both Bryan and I
will be in South Korea for Co-Op. But in the sprit of the game we wish
best of luck to all competing teams and we hope to be back in 2009 with some new
"Pushing Innovative Designs".
