Fall 2021 - The class is taught by two TAs, who were very helpful and understanding. I say understanding because not a single rover worked properly. That was only due to the time constraint and lack of experience among classmates. The class is graded almost solely on participation. As long as you're working on your rover, you'll get an A. The instructions weren't very clear or organized, but it was a fun challenge to try to figure out what to do. I'd take the class again after experiencing it once and learning what to do and what not to do in building my rover.
