The goal of this project is to improve upon prior iterations of SailBot, an autonomous robotic sailboat. This was accomplished by improving the mechanical, electrical, and software systems already in place, as well as adding new systems. Our overall objective for this iteration is to increase the rigidity and reliability of the vehicle.
