2017 - Oscar

One of our favourite robots, Oscar is a named after 'Oscar the Grouch' - because its hopper was made from a garbage can. Oscar is a fan favourite because it can shoot 6-7 wiffle balls per second. It features a rotating turret, and during competition had a camera on board that used computer vision for targetting. This was our first time using computer vision. Oscar could consistently deliver gears, was able to climb a rope, and always put on a good show shooting a stream of 'power cells' into the 'boiler'. We still bring Oscar out to demos as it is a lot of fun to see in action.
