ABOUT US
We are a group of mechanical engineering seniors and friends, working on our last undergraduate project together for ME102B: Mechatronic Design. We decided to create a complex robotic arm that can play checkers because we wanted something cool and challenging to show off at the final project demo! We have a wide range of skills among the six of us, from design to programming to controls. We hope you enjoy our project!
