We did not compete in the 2016 International RoboBoat Competition (in order to focus on the 2016 Maritime RobotX Challenge), but will be back in 2017.

Fresh off of winning the Outreach Award at the AUVSI Foundation - Supporting Student Robotics's 8th Annual International RoboBoat Competition, Team PropaGator is already working on a couple new outreach projects. Easter Seals of Southeastern Pennsylvania has asked us to adapt a couple Power Wheel cars for children who have limited or no mobility. This project is in the spirit of the Go Baby Go program developed at the University of Delaware.

Here is a video of one of the PropaGator team members test driving the Dodge Viper SRT. We were trying to get a gauge for how long the batteries in one of these cars lasts. Also, by driving a fully charged battery down to empty, and knowing how many amp-hours the battery has, we hoped to get an idea of how much current it required on average. Thank to Child Life at UF Health Shands Children's Hospital for donating the cars for this great cause!
