A few days ago, a robotics team sponsored by UWG's chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery competed at the Chattacon Robot Battles event in Chattanooga. The team, made up of computer science majors Brandon Shrewsbury, Aaron Schwan, Cody Stamps, and Ryan Nunnally, spent the better part of the last two semesters designing, building, and programming their robot.
They made an excellent showing, competing in three rounds (out of a possible four) for their weight class. (A burned-out circuit board prevented them from further competition. Damage in these competitions is a given!)
Though they did not win, completing a working robot and competing in the event is a major accomplishment. They worked very hard, built an excellent robot, and, most importantly, they were a model of sportsmanship. Please congratulate them.
The team's robot, Twisty (triangular shape with orange wheels), can be seen in action in the following short videos:
