The STI competition is a interdisciplinary Master semester project in form of a competition between five teams of three people from different educational backgrounds. The competition's goal is to design and build a litter collecting robot and outperform the other robots. The teams are given funds in order to buy parts, order custom parts from the in-house mechanics or make use of the available 3D printers.
The complete project report with all the documentation is in Documents/Project report.pdf.
