Roborace

Some classmates of mine and I won the Roborace robotics contest of the Institute for System Theory and Automatic Control of the University of Stuttgart.

The task was to build a LEGO Mindstorms robot that follows a black line on the floor as fast as possible.

Kromm's Lucky Punch (german) is a documentation of our project. The key insight was that for the given assignment good mechanics are more important than advanced software.
