Robot Description
The robot will play a basic game of paper football against a human opponent. It will start behind the end zone in an idle state waiting for the human opponent to kick off. He wlill then proceed onto the field to locate the yellow football. Once it is acquired, it will position itself to hit it with a desired strength depending on its location on the field.
The objective will be for the robot to have the paper football stop on the goaline without touching the back of the endzone. Once the hit is complete the robot will return to its starting position and the human can proceed to hit the football. During this time the robot will stay idle for a period of time to allow the human opponent time to hit the ball. The robot will then repeat its process of acquiring the football and hitting it.
Future
It is predicted that Tim TeBOT will win the Heisman this year and lead his team to another championship!
