For this semester, the object of the game is to build a robot that will play a game of basketball. On the miniture size court, with a ping pong ball dispenser in the center. This dispenser is laced with IR emitters so the dispenser can be located. There are one, two and three point zones and the baskets are located by two little light sources.

The project is broken down in the following:
1) Building the robot -- this is the fun part

• Using legos, the robot is designed to locate the ping pong ball dispenser. Obtain the balls in the dispenser. Locate the basket. And dispense the balls to the basket. Points are adjusted to the difficulty of the shot. Here is the complete rules/instructions for the project.

• The robot is to be programmed to expect any situation that may arise in the playing field; in other words fully autonomous. The microcontroller was based on the intel 80x86 language and worked very well.
