Design, Build, and Program a robot to compete in a "capture the flag" style tournament.
The goal was to build a robot that will compete against other robots within a designated playing field. There were obstacles such as moats, 'dead' robots, and walls. In the tournament, our robot was placed in a 'home' castle (randomly selected among four) along with the rival robot in 'their' castle. The team to retrieve a crown from a 'neutral' castle and return it to their 'home' castle first wins.
