MASLab 2004 Teams

Eighteen teams participated in the fourth annual MASLab Robotics contest. The teams ranged in size from two to four students and each team approached the robotics problem in a unique way. To collect the wooden balls teams used rollers, ball and tower grippers, and gated bulldozers. For the software control of the robot, teams used everything from simple single-threaded programs to more sophisticated multi-threaded programs with advanced image processing.
