Projects

Freescale Cup

The Freescale Cup is a global competition where student teams build, program, and race a model car around a track for speed. The fastest car to complete the track without derailing, wins.

By winning the local competition, my team managed to qualify for the European stage for the last 3 years.

First place. Freescale Cup National Stage 2014 at University "Politehnica" of Bucharest, Romania.

Finals of Freescale Cup EMEA 2014 at Fraunhofer IIS in Erlangen, Germany. 30 of April 2014.

Last year, an uncalibrated parameter triggered the detection of the finish line during the ramp climbing. This error had stopped us to finish the track.
