The Challenge¶

It's simple. Drive the m3pi robot around the track to achieve the fastest lap time!

You can drive it using an Android Tablet and App connected to it with Bluetooth, or go to The Pits to script it with predefined commands, or make a fully autonomous line follower; it is only the laptime that counts!

All the results will appear on http://mbed.org/robotracing/

• The judges decision is final
