Abstract: Serpentine soils are formed from ultramafic rocks and are represent an extreme environment for plants. Serpentine soils are unique in that they carry high concentrations of heavy metals, are nutrient deficient, particularly in calcium, and have poor water retention capabilities. Although these soils constitute harsh conditions for plant growth, there are a number of species that are adapted and even endemic to serpentine soil. Water retention by commercial potting mix was compared with serpentine soil. Also, serpentine adapted and non-adapted species were grown in both soil treatments and physiological data were collected. We used the Arduino electronic platform to …

This report showcases my entry into the Roborodentia 2016 competition, and my senior project. I chose this project because robotics has always interested me, and this was a great opportunity to jump in headfirst.
I will step through my design decisions and detail all information necessary for replicating this build.

Roborodentia is an annual autonomous robotics competition sponsored and hosted by Cal Poly. In the 2016 competition, participants are to design a robot that scores the most points by gathering rings from marked supply pegs and placing them onto marked scoring pegs. For Roborodentia I designed, constructed, and programmed a robot, named Amazon Prime, to compete.
