CheGoChe

This project was inspired by my childhood love for the board game GO. I was training to play GO for several years until I got busy with schoolwork in Junior High School.

At Carnegie Mellon University, I decided to rekindle my passion in a different way. We entered the Hackathon Build 18 with the determination to build the world's first automated GO board. The system has several novelties:

• A unique scissor mechanism that can remove any pieces on the board

• A gantry system that can place pieces onto the board

• A camera that can detect the position of each piece

• A game logic controller that can apply the game rules

Our team won:

• NSA Most Innovative Second Place Award

• Officer Choice Award
