During the Robot Field Test - HACKADAY Edition, the ten-person workshop will embark on the mission to use a robot to improve the environment. We will venture to an outdoors location and run 3 tasks to test the robot's functionality for certain problems or experiments that pertain to the locational setting — for example: collecting shoreline debris. We will share our observations about the robot & environment during the debrief session.
