Intro

The Robotics course is intended to provide 6 ECTS for participating in the Robotics Club activities. From September until November of 2017 the main focus is to get two basketball robots and four sumorobots ready for Robotex 2017.

Basically attend lectures, pick any of the suggested tasks/projects, confirm with Lauri and earn your ECTS.
