How do you spend a weekend when the powers out all across town? We built another robot! DJ Roomba was built in only 15 hours, and features 2 wheel drive, Bluetooth, 100W of stereo sound, entirely driven from your phone. Keep an eye out at our events, including maker faire Ottawa!

We here at CPRT have extensive experience solving problems. In fact, todays prospecting task was going so smoothly that we shut down the rover in the middle, just to add some excitement.

This morning we had a great run through the equipment servicing challenge. With our arm back on, we opened the equipment panel, removed a bad fuse, and were the first team to turn the ball valve. We've now re-equipped for tomorrow morning's prospecting task.

You know, sometimes integration goes so smoothly you just have to smile. Today we're swapping out our arm for the mining system, in preparation for the resource extraction task this afternoon.

With a 1:45am start time, we completed the Search and Rescue Task under the darkness of night. Our new LED headlights helped shine the way! – at Drumheller, Alberta
