RobotX
Our 2024 RobotX multi-domain system consisted of a Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) and Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV).
As previous team members graduated, leadership within Team Inspiration worked with seven UCSD capstone student teams to improve the system capabilities by making the electrical system modular, drone prototype and navigation with RoboBoat as a mini WAM-V.
