Vger is a collaborative effort with Team Daisy to build a fully autonomous 'bot for the Robomagellan contest.
Vger has a fairly typical bot drive train, with the addition of two optically encoded wheels. We're also incorporating a gyro, accelerometer, sonar array, GPS unit, compass and vision system to help guide the bot.
All this is tied together with a 1.7 Ghz laptop running Windows XP and a custom suite of software.
We're hoping compete with Vger at Robothon 2005 in October.
