A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...

Purpose

Team VIII: The Resistance

The purpose of this website is to document and share our development of a maze-following robot, BB-8. We will show our progress using labs and milestones that each contribute to the learning process of this project.

Our Robot

BB-8: Inspired by Star Wars and our original team name

GOAL: BB-8 will navigate through a maze in order to reunite with Rey to stop Kylo Ren and the First Order.
