What does Husky Robotics do?
At Husky Robotics, we design, build, and program custom robotic rovers to compete in the University Rover Challenge (URC). It's a simulated excursion on Mars with a variety of navigation, manipulation, retrieval, surveying, and other tasks. We design the mechanical and electrical systems for our ROV in-house, and we write custom software to enable computer vision, remote control, autonomous navigation, and other behavior.

I have a question. Who do I ask?
Post it on Slack, ask your lead, or ask someone else! Don't leave your questions unanswered.

What does our work look like?
To see our previous robots, check out our website's past robots page

Your work will depend on the team you join:
 * Mechanical - designing mechanisms using MCAD software and building them physically
 * Electrical - designing electronics using ECAD software and putting them together
 * Software - writing the code that enables our ROV to do stuff

What tools does the team use?
MCAD: SolidWorks

ECAD: Eagle TODO is this right?

PDM: GrabCAD

Software: TODO what platforms do they use?

Project management: ClickUp TODO is this right?

Documentation: MediaWiki (this site)

Other data: Google Drive

Why are we building a rover?
URC is a competition, so we want to have the best rover there!

What are some key terms to know?

 * URC - University Rover Challenge
 * MCAD - Mechanical Computer-Aided Design - e.g. SolidWorks
 * ECAD - Electrical Computer-Aided Design - e.g. Eagle
