The 3-quarter ME218 sequence (Smart Product Design) is a coursed based on mechatronics which allows students the opportunity to delve into the intricacies of hardware, software and electronic design in pursuit of a common goal. This term, our goal was to build an autonomous battleship robot (henceforth 'the Bot') capable of
- navigating around a playing field
- shooting at enemy targets
- reloading ammo at a supply depot

| Field Information (FAC) |
|
The Bot had very humble beginnings. The week the project was announced, it was little more than foam core, two wheels and a protoboard ... |
|
... but eventually it grew up to be the Bot it had always wanted to be and knew in its heart it could become one day. Witness it in battle here. |
