The potential designers and engineers of tomorrow’s self-driving vehicles showed off their most promising work Saturday at the annual running of a popular autonomous robots competition. More than 300 students from middle schools, high schools and colleges across Michigan participated in Robofest, the autonomous robotics festival put on by Lawrence Technological University. The competition has grown in size since its first year in 1999 and has included teams from at least 13 states and countries including Brazil, China, Mexico, Singapore, France and nearby Canada. Saturday’s event was the state championship meet and featured 93 teams. The day’s highest-scoring 15 teams will go to the Robofest World Championships next month in St. Pete Beach, Fla.
