Hey all,
I know it might seem strange to be posting the results of Intel ISEF 2009 in the Propeller forum, but there is a reason.
My project, titled The Practical Utilization of Wireless Protocol and Swarm Mentality to Improve Overall Efficiency and Effectiveness in Autonomous Robot Platforms, won two awards at the fair. It won an award of $8000 from the Navy/Marine Corps for the best electrical/mechanical engineering project. Additionally, the project won an award of $2000 from United Technologies.
For all three robots in my swarm, I used the Propeller protoboard, which is why I posted this in the propeller forum.
I would like to thank all of you who·supported and helped·me when I had questions (and there were many). It was very much appreciated.
Thanks again,
Carl Lawhon
