This robot will be used by the Kentucky Astrorobotic Terrain Systems club at the University of Kentucky for outreach activities within the Lexington, KY community, promoting STEM education. With interactive activities for participants to encourage curiosity about how the robot works.
One such activity is CooperationMode, where 4 players can each control a wheel of the robot by moving their finger on their smartphone. Players will have to coordinate with each other to make the wheels of the robot turn the same direction.
