Description of the team and robot
We are a student team (ages 15 to 18) from the SFZ Südwürttemberg, Standort Überlingen. For most members this will be the second time participating in the FRE. The FRE will be a great opportunity to test how the field robot we are currently building performs under real field conditions.
