UAV_Robotics_Team

This is Cal Poly Pomona's Robotics Team for the UAV BANSHEE project that is funded and sponsored by Lockheed Martin and Robotis

Goals for Spring 2021

1. Create a Robotic Arm that is capable of taking a label and applying it onto boxes
   • The Goal is to implement this type of technology as a battery swapping mechanism in the future.
2. Work on expanding our knowledge on the Dynamixel Technology and YOLO Software
   • Here is a link to the technology: https://emanual.robotis.com/docs/en/dxl/
3. Finish the Project by the end of the Spring Semester -> Second Week of May

**If a certain "EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory" appears, then the path exceeds the 260 character limit imposed by Windows. To override this option, go to the "regedit" application, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled, click on edit > modify, and change the value from 0 to 1.
