Spongebot

Welcome from the Spongebot team!!!

Our team is a long standing member of LRC. We’ve been building robots since 2013!

Our FLL Experiences:

In our Nature Fury season, as a rookie FLL team, we built a prototype of a warm blanket that can be used during a power outage. We received the Rookier Inspiration Award at the Clifton Qualifying Event.
In our World Class season, we build a machine called RLD (Raised Line Drawer) in a hope to help blind students to learn how to draw and help them to communicate in pictures. We received the 2nd Place Programming Award at the North Jersey State Championship.
In our Trash Trek season, we worked on a project to solve a problem of recycling. We visited a recycling plant back in September and came back with a solution called Artificial Intelligence Recycler. We received the 1st Place Innovative Solution Award at North Jersey State Championship. Under the name Team A.I.R., we became a semi-finalist of the FLL Global Innovation Award. See the history of Team A.I.R. here.
For the Animal Allies season, we designed an built an innovative and human trap for feral cats.
For the Hydro Dynamics season, we invented an intelligent shower head that gauged water consumption and encouraged users to use water responsibly. We received the 1st Place Robot Strategy & Innovation Award at the North Jersey State Championship.

Our Robocup Junior Experiences:

We entered our first RCJ Open Soccer competition in 2018. In 3 months, we designed and built 2 autonomous soccer robots. We used android phones for computer vision and soccer logic, and microcontroller boards for motor control and sensor data acquisition.
In the 2019 season we improved our robot design, moving from 6th to 3rd place at the USA competition in NYC. Major changes included a switch to Raspberry Pi and and the python implementation of Open CV, and upgrades to our chassis construction, addition of a dribbler, and upgraded motors.
