Welcome to the TRST blog for Sailbot. Sailbot 2013 is an international robotic competition that challenges Universities, High Schools, and hobbyists to race robotic sailboats. This year, Olin College of Engineering is hosting the competition in Gloucester, MA. With a timeline of 6 weeks, we are hacking a CR-914 one meter sail boat from RCYachts. The competition features five main events:
- Long Distance Course (10 km)
