NASA Swarmathon
What is the Swarmathon? The NASA Swarmathon is a nation-wide autonomous robotics competition that was created by the University of New Mexico and hosted by NASA. The Swarmathon is open to Minority Serving Institutions . The purpose of the competition is to research cooperative search algorithms for Mars exploration. Each year the challenge gets harder .
What is the Swarmathon?
First Year: 2016
2016 Championship Round
Test, Test, Test!
We Won!
2017: Robots with Grippers!
Bulldozer Mode!
The Agony of Defeat
2017 Team
Reality Bites
2018: Obstacles!
Rethink! The base code was a barrier to students. In the summer of 2017 I redesigned it with two goals: 1. Behavior should be testable in isolation. 2. Easy things should be easy. import math import swarmie square_size = 5 for step in range(4): swarmie.drive(square_size) swarmie.turn(math.pi/2)
Bulldozer No More
