The Student Tele-Operated Robotics Mission
The Student Tele-Operated Robotics Mission is a interscholastic robotics competition for university students. Students will build a tele-operated robot that is capable of navigation, investigation, and interaction. The robots operator will be in a physically separate location from the robot and may only communicate with the robot over a provided WiFi link. Choosing sensors and displaying collected data to the driver in clever ways are key outcomes.
The goal of the STORM competition is to be accessible and available to all interested university-level students. Robots built for this challenge should not be expensive or require a lot of robotics background. All tasks can be accomplished with relatively cheap off-the-shelf components available online or in maker stores. To achieve the best scores, teams must creatively integrate all the components to create an efficient and reliable robot.
