The Trinity College Robot Study Team works hard year-round to successfully compete in contests and further the advancement and understanding of the field of robotics. Our mission goals can be broken up into two areas:
The Team gets most of its current resources for travel and equipment through limited funding through Trinity College. The Friends of Trinity Robotics Club is intended to provide increased resources for more innovative projects and technologies and secure the long-term viability of the team. There are two ways one may help:

Trinity is gearing up for the 16th Annual Ground Vehicle Competion to be held at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan on May 30-June 2, 2008. Trinity's autonomous robot, Q, will participate in both the navigation and the autonomous challenges in the competition. Preparations are underway.
The TREADY project, funded by the Urban Being Grant and run by team members Marissa Powers and Orko Momin have completed their weekly three hour workshops to help middle school students in Hartford to build autonomous robots. Workshops used to run on Thursdays.
The Robot Team started a new trend of doing workshops this year, where a couple of students present their mastery projects on various fields of robotics to their fellow team mates. Workshops held this semester included designing circuit layout using the PADS software, creating wall-following robots using the Create i-Robot, establishing RF wireless communication channels between two mobile robots, doing Microsoft Robotic Studio, understanding the JAUS software architecture and using the SICK laser finder.
