Each year in the South East Region (Region 3) the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE for short) host its annual conference SoutheastCON. One of the most popular events is the Student Hardware (Robotics) Competition.
This years scenario is search and rescue after a disaster (very timely don’t you think).
The conference this year is in Nashville, TN.
I know teams from the University of Memphis and Christen Bothers University are planing to field a robot for this event (I an the adviser for the UofM team).
In the mean time, here is a video I shot recently when they were testing their bot to see if it will be able to go over the obstacles……
I will be posting pics and news about the event….so stay tuned.
