MIT Zero Robotics Competition Update - We're going to the semifinals!

At first, I really didn't think we were going to be doing this well in this competition, but after the 2D competition, we came in 21st!  To make things even better, we came in 6th after the 3D competition #1!  This puts us at position 7 and Pirate Squad is safely into semifinals!

I'm really proud of what my team managed to achieve.  We managed to make something that actually worked from a group of five ordinary high school students.  But it's not over yet, and we'll be working hard to optimize our code so that we'll be fit for the semifinals and hopefully, finals.

You can see the results of the 3D Competition #1 here and the semifinalist listing here.  You can also browse and watch simulations of our robot here.  Please note that our team name is Pirate Squad. 

Thanks for reading and I promise to keep you updated on Pirate Squad and Zero Robotics!
