XBOT Robotics bringing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math hands on experiences to the young people of SE Seattle
XBOT Robotics - team XBOT #488 had an amazing 2019 season with the team being recognized for our robot vision - the "Innovation in Control Award" and Gracious Professionalism Award for our team's outreach events in the community and assisting other sister FRC teams.
2019 "a-ha Robot Vision 
A unique feature on our 2019 robot was the "a-ha" Robot vision: using the Nvidia Jetson TX and ZED stereoscopic camera (on the robot) + custom software -- field representation image was sent almost real time to the robot driver laptop over the field's wifi network. The robot driver team & laptop was outside of the field,. The field is 27' by 54' (size of a tennis court) with two major scoring structures - quite the challenge The blue line served as a cross hair to position the robot game piece delivery.
