ONU engineering students put the course in coursework at the first annual ONU Robotics Challenge on Friday, Dec. 10, in the lobby of the James Lehr Kennedy Engineering Building.

The video at https://www.onu.edu/news/holding-line shows how robots performed.

Students battled with wheeled robots that they programmed to follow a course made up of a twisting and turning black line. Two robots from competing teams started on opposite sides of the course and the winner was the first robot to make it back to its starting position, or catch up and bump the other robot from behind.

Students remade the course after each round until the bracket-style competition determined its champion.
