Strategy Paper

Please prepare a 5-page paper (physical hard copy) to be turned in at class on Tue Oct 24. The paper should present the concept of how your robot will operate.

• Identify key subsystems and describe how they will work.
• Include at least 1 drawing; more if useful in explaining your ideas.
• Include a schedule indicating how much time you think each subsystem will take. Make sure to allow time for integration of subsystems—this usually takes longer than you expect.
• Include a discussion of the “Ideal and Real” paper and indicate how you will address concerns raised in this paper.
