P11217: Golf Robot
/public/

Preliminary Work Breakdown Structure

Goal Statement

"The robot requested must be able to deliver a golf ball to a given set of target coordinates on a golf green. Equipment may not be permanently stationed on the green itself and interference with the surrounding area should be kept at a minimum in order to make access to the green easier. In order to complete these objectives, the robot must be able to wirelessly communicate with a PC at a distance of at least 100 feet for the purposes of receiving target coordinates and sending a 'task completed' signal during each round, navigate to the received coordinates with a margin of error less than two feet, move freely across a golf green (flat, short grass, ~30 foot diameter), and carry and drop a golf ball at the target coordinates."
