Over the last 11 years Dunwoody students have built several platforms using various designs and parts; however, nothing was uniform with each of the robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s team consisting of students from the <a href=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/manufacturing\/electronics-engineering-technology\/\">Electronics Engineering Technology<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/manufacturing\/automation-controls-engineering-technology\/\">Automation &amp; Controls Engineering Technology<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/manufacturing\/automated-systems-robotics\/\">Automated Systems &amp; Robotics<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/manufacturing\/welding-metal-fabrication\/\">Welding<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/manufacturing\/machine-tool-technology\/\">Machine Tool Technology<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/manufacturing\/engineering-drafting-design\/\">Engineering Drafting &amp; Design<\/a> programs, took the best aspects of each of the previous designs and created a standardized chassis and parts for the three platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are huge benefits to this standardization,\u201d E.J. Daigle, Dean of Advanced Manufacturing, Robotics, Automotive Technology, Health Sciences, and Strategic Partnerships, as well as advisor for the College\u2019s snowplow team said. \u201cFor example, we only need to stock one spare part for each component. If for some reason we have a failure, that part can go on any of the three robots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a labor of love for the team members who typically spend their Monday afternoons and Saturdays on campus working on the robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automated Systems &amp; Robotics student Jessica Gugliuzza started out as the director of the chassis build and spent several days in the weld shop. \u201cI have put in over 100 hours into this project, both in school and at home,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-New-snowplow-10262021-kmh-1-1024x731.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6122\" width=\"610\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-New-snowplow-10262021-kmh-1-1024x731.png 1024w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-New-snowplow-10262021-kmh-1-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-New-snowplow-10262021-kmh-1-768x548.png 768w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-New-snowplow-10262021-kmh-1-1200x856.png 1200w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-New-snowplow-10262021-kmh-1.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><figcaption>Jessica Gugliuzza works on a robotic platform in the Welding Shop. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One Saturday morning in mid-November, a mixture of veteran and new team members gathered along with their advisors to assemble, paint, and work on the programming code needed to operate the snowplows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-Robotics-Snow-Plow-build-11132021-kmh-8-1-829x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6124\" width=\"318\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-Robotics-Snow-Plow-build-11132021-kmh-8-1-829x1024.png 829w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-Robotics-Snow-Plow-build-11132021-kmh-8-1-243x300.png 243w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-Robotics-Snow-Plow-build-11132021-kmh-8-1-768x948.png 768w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-Robotics-Snow-Plow-build-11132021-kmh-8-1-1244x1536.png 1244w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-Robotics-Snow-Plow-build-11132021-kmh-8-1-1200x1482.png 1200w, https:\/\/dunwoody.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/72-Robotics-Snow-Plow-build-11132021-kmh-8-1.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><figcaption>Trougon Johnson, left, and John Humphreys, right, install parts on the robotic frame. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is my first year in the program so I&#8217;m learning how things work,\u201d first-year Automated Systems &amp;

Last year the competition was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams from Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, and Quebec and Ontario, Canada will once again come together to battle against each other for bragging rights of having built the best snow-clearing robot on January 20-22, 2022, at Dunwoody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While competitive spirit is abundant among the contestants, collaboration, and shared knowledge is another key element garnered from the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow that the three new chassis are built, I&#8217;ll be the leader for one of the three robots: Snow Devil,\u201dsaid Gugliuzza, who competed virtually last year. \u201cIt will be my first time seeing the competition play out in person, and I&#8217;m looking forward to meeting all of the other teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Groff joined the Robotic Snow Plow team during his second semester in 2019, and was able to participate in the first snowplow competition held on campus. He is especially looking forward to the return to the in-person format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As in year\u2019s past, there will be two categories of competition: the single 1 and a triple 1. During the single competition, which is a 1 x10 meter-long snowfield, each team competes individually. During the triple competition, each team must collaborate with another plow to clear the 3&#215;10 meter-long snowfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCollaboration could mean anything from the snowplows communicating wirelessly with each other to using other sensors to communicate,\u201d Groff said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams Wendigo and Snow Devil are partnered for this task and will use reflective laser sensors to determine when one of the snowplows goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team Wechuge, of which Groff is a member, is collaborating with Minnesota State University Mankato. \u201cWe plan on having the snowplows communicate their positions to each other wirelessly,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m most excited to see and learn what the other team\u2019s solutions are for this competition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dunwoody students rolled up their sleeves and spent the last several months designing and building three new autonomous snowplows from the ground up.
