Abstract(s)

Robotics competitions have been increasing in the last years since they bring several impacts on students education, such as technical skill development, teamwork, resilience and decision making withing the STEM skills. The article highlights the significance of robotics competitions as platforms for fostering innovation and driving advancements in the field of robotics. This article primarily focuses on the development of a robot in the Dragster category for the 2023 Portuguese Robotics Open. It outlines the strategies devised to tackle the competition’s challenges and discusses the obstacles encountered along with the corresponding solutions employed. The article delves into the specific details of the challenges faced and the iterative processes undertaken to enhance the robot’s performance and functionalities. By sharing the insights gained from the project, future proposals for iterations of the robot will be presented, aiming to further augment its features and overall performance while sharing knowledge with other teams and community.
