TYESA-MCC Competition featured on Local Channel 8 TV

Local channel 8 captured the TYESA-MCC Unmanned Ground and Aerial Vehicle (UAV+UGV) competition on Friday, April 26, 2024, at MCC PAC field house. Six other institutions participated in this event. The project was designed to simulate a rescue mission where human navigation is dangerous and aerial navigation is partially difficult.

Students have to design, build, and pilot an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to transport a small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) through obstacle gates. The UAV must be able to maneuver around and through obstacles, change altitude, carry/deposit the UGV to the proper drop zone, and then navigate back to the starting zone. The UGV must be capable of detaching from the UAV using an autonomous onboard detachment mechanism and autonomously drive to a different location after delivery.
