Project ideas: QUT Droid Racing Competition (DRC) is conducted annually to promote students with the spirit and motivation to engage in the miracle world of mechatronics and robotics, particularly the field of self-driving vehicles, which is becoming more popular every year. This year, to overcome the difficulties from last year competition, we - UTS Python team - have come up with a new design from the droid, differential drive system, and a new method in processing the frame to find the optimal path for the vehicle to move around the track. We also used ROS as the main communication method between all components within the droid.

Major Components:

• Intel NUC - main processor

• Ocam RGB Camera

• Odriver driver

• Brushless DC Motors with Encoders

Below is a video summarise all aspects of the projects, from the designing to testing and competing with other droids.
