Lichfield

Robot Challenge

This group was formed to respond to the National u3a challenge made by Gloucester u3a. The intention of the challenge is for u3a teams to submit robot constructions capable of moving a self-contained buggy around an arena, using intelligent or programmable devices. The robot needs to be capable of undertaking:

a. Manually Controlled Challenges, robots must be wireless remote controlled without being tethered by wiring or any other means.
b. Autonomous Challenges, robots must navigate without manual intervention using appropriate sensors to provide control.

The Robot Constructor’s Challenge Event Day will take place at Gloucester on Wed 26th October 2022. Spectators are welcome to attend the event to "cheer on" the teams, (but entry may be restricted by the venue regulations).

In Lichfield, we have already formed a small active constructors group who are designing the robot car, however we are seeking both active builders, and passive supporters who are welcome to show interest and/or attend the event. Our Objective is to represent Lichfield at the Challenge event and successfully undertake at least some of the challenges. (This is our first attempt!)
