The 2020-2021 SailBot MQP improves upon a multi-year implementation of a robotic sailing system known as The Great Awake. The team worked to increase the functionality and reliability of the mechanical, electrical, and software systems throughout the SailBot. The primary goal in this iteration was to implement a robust hardware and software architecture, create and update autonomous systems, and ensure a smooth transition to the next team by simplifying the design and creating thorough documentation.
