It’s the beginning of another year for MUN
SailBOT and construction is well on the way. With new electronics from the full
overhaul from last year, the fall semester was dedicated to mapping the new
system as well as planning the improvements to be made. On the coding front,
the team has been very busy updating and creating code for the new competition
this June. With the addition of a machine vision event, the team has been
challenged to create a large section of brand new code that with the use of a
camera should help us sail to a buoy in a large body of water. The Mechanical/Naval
team has started overhauling the hull, building the rudders, and designing a new
rigging, sail and mounting system for the new electronics. It will be a busy
year for MUN SailBOT with major overhauls happening in every sector! We are
hoping to repeat our successes from last year and hold onto the International
Robotics Sailing Regatta title. If you are interested in working with the team,
or supporting us with a donation, the MUN SailBOT Team can be contacted at
