While attending TA training yesterday, I got to see the results of a really cool project that a couple of sophomore undergrads in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) worked on over the summer.  I’ve embedded a YouTube clip of the project below:

I was surprised that after only a year of classes and some mentoring, the students were able to put together something this complex. The key is the TekBots system that Oregon State has developed, which provides hands-on application of classroom knowledge in the labs. It would have been great to have something this hands-on when I was an undergrad.
