// TECHNICAL_SPECIFICATIONS

Autonomous Engineering Stack

Botball competitions eliminate human tele-operation. Our robots must sense, calculate, and act completely unassisted.

// SYSTEM_SOFTWARE

Embedded C & Microcontroller Logic

Our robots run on KIPR Wombat controllers powered by Linux microprocessors. Software is authored in pure C, utilizing concurrent threads for real-time motor velocity control, multi-sensor polling, and state-machine transitions.

// COMPUTER_VISION

Optical Camera Tracking & Position Correction

An onboard optical camera processes live video streams to identify game piece colors, track coordinates on the board, and adjust heading vectors dynamically to compensate for physical field drift.

// SENSORS_FABRICATION

Sensor Fusion & Custom 3D Fabrication

Using infrared distance sensors, optical encoders, and touch arrays, our system closed-loops position tracking. Mechanical chassis, motor mounts, and specialized grippers are custom designed in CAD and 3D printed in-house.
