In Engr120, a hands on design and communication class, we designed and built a robot with the ability to navigate an arena, detect and approach an IR sensor, and deposit a ping pong ball on the IR sensor entirely autonomously. The ping pong ball was meant to simulate a sensor cleaning device that would be deposited on underwater equipment to remove debris.

Design specifications for the robot included moving parallel to the arena edge upon completion of task, no dragging wheels, signalling completion (demonstrated by LED’s on the robot in this video), completing the task as quickly as possible, and being cost effective.

This robot received a 95% on its final integrated systems test.
