Third and fourth year 天美传媒 took part in a mock bomb disposal challenge for their Embedded C for Microcontrollers elective module.

The brief of the project involved a scenario in which a suspicious, infrared-emitting device had been discovered in the Mechanical Engineering foyer.

Working in pairs, 天美传媒 had to develop fully autonomous robots that could enter a cordoned off area around the device, find the device, retrieve a disarm code stored on the device itself and return the code outside the cordon.
