With only a kit of tools and raw materials, 2.007 challenged me to build a robot that navigates a chocolate factory-themed competition table. I designed Mad Max, a fully remote-controlled robot that collects golden eggs with an auger. Learn about my design process:

Mad Max scopes up eggs and funnels them into a bed with an auger. Linkages control the auger tilt and bed dumper
