Awesome Robot Competition? LIVE?? by Kayode D. '27
Check out the 2.007 Final Robot Competition! LIVE May 12th/13th!
Do you LOVE robots? Do you LOVE Wicked? Do you LOOOOOVEE FREE BODY DIAGRAMS??
Well then, you’re going to LOVE the 2.007 Manufacturing and Design Final competition!!! This semester, MIT students have been working tirelessly to create robots to overcome this year’s challenge board, themed after the movie Wicked! Both me and Veronica P. ’27 are taking the class and plan to write a longer blog about our experiences, but we couldn’t let you all miss out on the BEST PART!!
The culmination of 2.007 is the final robot competition, where students for a single-run showcase on Monday to earn as many points as possible, and a top 32-robot single-elimination tournament on Tuesday!
Quote from an email: “Each head-to-head match is a dynamic demonstration of mechanical design, systems integration, and iterative thinking. Cheer on the competitors as they deliver poppies to Munchkinland, climb the sloped yellow brick road, gather iconic items in Oz, and attempt to free the flying monkeys!”
The entire competition will be live streamed Monday 5-10 and Tuesday 6:30-10 here! Come check out the stream and see the fruits of our robotic labor pay off.
