AtBC Game Synopsis: Your mission is to develop an autonomous robot that will collect tennis balls on Tennis Court Table and put them into a Ball Box. Points are earned based on number of balls in the box, inside the Box Fence, on the robot, or outside the Tennis Court Table. Additional points will be earned if Trash Bottles are moved completely off the Tables. All the tasks should be done completely autonomously within 2 minutes without any external help. The procedure on how to end a Game is unveiled on the competition day. At the World Championship at Lawrence Technological University in Michigan, there will be additional unknown task(s) that require program changes and/or additions. Any robot kits may be used.
