In the beginning there was.....6 students, a reference design and a lot of ideas (some of which where quite ridiculous.) From these we came up with a shortlist shown below. Only one could make the cut though, and that one was LOGO turtle; just because we thought it would be fun really. However, we had to throw it out, mainly because there was enough computational complexity to it - most of the work would have been in (re)building the robot, which isn't really the point of the practical. Undeterred we re-evaluated the options and decided on the CARMA car park attendant, which was satisfactory to everyone involved. You can see the initial specifications for the LOGO and CARMA systems below; for more information on the design and ongoing implementation of the CARMA system check out the applications page.
