Mercury Overview
The Mercury Robot team builds a robot each year for the Mercury Challenge in Oklahoma State. The Competition is set to emulate a rover that has to be controlled remotely, and has to do a set of tasks to gain points.

This year the robot had to complete a course with various obstacles. These obstacles include: a bride, tunnel, zig-zags, and a speed run.
