Description of the team and robot
Every year, a student team from Wageningen University & Research participates in the Field Robot Design course. The bullseye robot has been upgraded annually with improved hardware and adaptations for new tasks. The software is also continuously developed and refined each year by a new group of students building on previous work.

Short strategy description for navigation and applications:
For task 1, 2 and 3 we make the robot stay between the rows with the LIDAR and switch rows when it no longer detects plants next to it. The stereocameras are used for the detection tasks.
For task 4 and 5 we are planning to use SLAM in combination with nav2.
