If you're feeling nostalgic for SparkFun's Autonomous Vehicle Competition, we might have something that will help. When Tawn Kramer's friends competed in the AVC and he couldn't make it, he wrote a simulator so that he could feel like a part of the action. The best part? It's open source and you can use it too!
This is the final installment in a series about the Midwest Defenders' build for the OpenCV Spatial AI Competition.
Following up on last week's blog, we learn how Jesse programmed his team's submission for Open CV's Spatial AI competition.
This is the first part of a series on Jesse Brockmann's build for the OpenCV Spatial AI Contest.
This week on the OpenCV Weekly Webinar Jesse Brockmann shows off his very cool LEGO-sized robot navigation system with tiny road signs and everything!
Catch up on the event with the livestream, and check out the winners here.

Announcing SparkFun AVC 2017 Combat Bot tournament winners
Thanks to some big bots, student teams and first-time competitors, we are now the third largest combat robotics tournament in the world!
With all the information needed to construct a combat bot, let's actually build one!
I think I just overwrite the DataLogger IoT firmware was doing firmware update and accidently hit Arduino script file, instead of cool term…
Thanks for the great description! I hadn't even been aware of the existance of NNSS, though in the mid 1980s, I'd looked at LORAN-C for a…
Thanks for the L band sharing !
Over the years, I've been pretty vocal about wanting on-board RTCs, with at least the possibility of connecting something like a coin…
Not only does VBAT supply the RTC, but there’s also battery-backed RAM onboard too! With the amount of space available on the Thing Plus…
Interesting... it sort of covers one of my "hot buttons", that is having an RTC. In looking at the schematic, I noticed that the "BAT"…
But Social Engineer's LOVE him. Good job catching so many of the buttons social manipulators use, but I nearly thought Sparkfun was off…
There's a disclaimer at the very end, hopefully that's enough to keep people from attempting. Glad you liked it!
Update: I followed all of the steps listed in this guide. My computer is now virus-free! The fan keeps coming on and the hard drive is…
You need to reflash the firmware - see: https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_DataLogger/issues/3 Once you flash using that command, you can…
