Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
UCSC March Slugness!

Location:   Expo Green   

The CMPE-118/L Introduction to Mechatronics class at UC Santa Cruz was tasked to build a robot that can throw pingpong balls into baskets illuminated by IR beacons. Teams of three built the robots which must run completely autonomously for each round of 2 minutes with no interference from builders.
