IEEE Pittsburgh Presents
2008 IndEEE 500cm Robot Car Race
@ Carnegie Science Center
National Engineers Week 2008
(Feb 16, 2008)
The Pittsburgh Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Section is organizing a robot car race (IndEEE 500cm) on Saturday, February 16, 2008, at the Carnegie Science Center. The purpose of this race is to interest young students in science and engineering. Students will have fun while applying elementary control systems theory, robotics, and mechanical and electrical engineering principles to their cars. The contestants will be required to adjust various mechanical and electrical control parameters so that their car can follow a narrow white line for 500 cm. The fastest car across the finish line wins.
ZOOOOOOOOM!
