Still, very impressive as always! I look forward to seeing what you do every year!

Sadly not but we are very close to it and the purpose of our work has been to set ourselves up for the future, not necessarily for the current game. We're very focused on making the process repeatable and to learn from it and how to simplify/improve implementation.

This is really the next evolution of our work last year with tracking/retrieving the recycling bins.

Our hope is to program and complete a full "cycle" with our current robot once school is back in session and all of our students are back. We've even got a trick up our sleeve for tracking robot pose thanks to our friends over at Kauai Labs that should make this all a lot easier than it may at first seem.
