Success

I am pleased to report that the SMU Robotics club, after so many setbacks, has managed to place 9th overall in the AUVSI competition. This is absolutely outstanding, and far greater than we had even hoped to achieve. We won two awards last night at the final awards ceremony. The first $500 award was for our successful (albeit last-minute) completion of the optional JAUS challenge. The second $500 award was for "perseverance in the face of adversity," an award we are very proud of. The results of the contest, as of the time of this posting, are not yet up on the website, but will soon be linked from this page as soon as they are up. On behalf of the entire club, I would like to thank all of our supporters. After a hectic week, we are all but too happy to finally be taking a break. We will resume work this fall for next years competition, so stick around for more news from the club this fall. Until then, go Mustangs!
