If you're feeling nostalgic for SparkFun's Autonomous Vehicle Competition, we might have something that will help. When Tawn Kramer's friends competed in the AVC and he couldn't make it, he wrote a simulator so that he could feel like a part of the action. The best part? It's open source and you can use it too!
This is the final installment in a series about the Midwest Defenders' build for the OpenCV Spatial AI Competition.
Following up on last week's blog, we learn how Jesse programmed his team's submission for Open CV's Spatial AI competition.
