Nasa 2015 Sample Return Challenge This Week

Anyone that may be interested the 2015 Nasa sample return challenge starts this week with the level one this Wednesday. Robots have to search and find items autonomously in a large park by WPI University.

I've been busy building trying to build a rover under the rules of the competition, almost done , and will be using EZ B and some Python scripting to accomplish the tasks through the summer.

Its motivated me and given me a goal to reach by the end of summer. I'm learning a lot and I unfortunately made some blue smoke but I am enjoying the challenge.

Here's the link for anyone that is interested, and thanks again DJ your software has really made it easier.
