The $99 Mini-Challenge

The $99 Mini-Challenge, scheduled for Wednesday, 7 April, is open to undergraduates only. The race will begin at 12:30 pm (in tandem with Mobot Clinic counseling/discussions). The session will continue until 2:00 pm. To help participants understand the various components to building a mobot, we have decomposed the problem into two subsets, reflected in the following two races:

  • Mini-Slalom Challenge
    Area between the ramps, between Gates 2-8
    Fastest Time to Complete the Designated Course Length
  • Decison-Point Challenge
    Starting right before Gate 9 to end of racecourse
    Fastest Time to Complete the Full Decision-Point Course

The prizes include:

  • $99 The Mini-Challenge: Slalom Challenge (during Mobot Clinic)
  • $99 The Mini-Challenge: Decision-Point Challenge (during Mobot Clinic)
