FRR is havening a Pop Can collecting contest / challenge. The idea is can your robot find pop cans in a real world room and take them back to the spot the robot was first started? Its way harder than you would first think. Will the robot grab a table leg thinking its a can? Will it get lost or stuck some where? Join the challenge and have some intellectual fun! We expect this challenge will take some time and hope the builders show the robots progress as there built and tested at many FRR meetings!
