I was in charge of the hardware design of the robot.  The robot was programmed with an Arduino Uno and contained several supporting circuits such as an "H-Bridge" to integrate 2 infrared sensors and 2 color sensors to sense its surroundings.  The deployable "arms" allow the robot to stay within its starting size restrictions while also increasing the robot's frontal area during the competition.  This is important during the offensive phase, when the robot sweeps across the arena, collecting blocks on its starting side and pushes them onto the opponent’s.  After sweeping is complete, the robot stops at the midpoint, using its large arms to block the opponent from placing blocks onto its side.  All of the mechanical components were laser cut or 3-D printed.  I led the robot's exterior design to make it unassuming, fun, and festive.
