TicTacToe Extended is a variation of the classic game with added complexity and a larger playing board. Play the game here!
The project can be described as nested tic tac toe - imagine a tic tac toe board in each cell of a large tic tac toe board. Winning a small board results in a X or O in that cell of the large grid. Now you may be thinking "how does this differ from normal tic tac toe, albeit repeated a few times?".

The Shell Eco Marathon is a vehicle fuel efficiency competition for university students. This year, it was hosted in Houston and I was able to attend as a member of UBC's Supermileage team. We entered the gasoline competition, with a prototype and urban concept vehicle. An all-expenses paid trip to Texas for a week, sounds like a nice vacation right? After rescheduling a few final exams and a bleary eyed drive down to Seattle we were off!

In the summer of 2012, I took a course called ENPH 253 - Introduction to Instrument Design, but everyone knew it as "that robot course". After 8 grueling weeks of 12 hour days in the lab and two all nighters, our autonomous robot "Breaking Balls" was born. The robot was able to pick up squash balls using the roller at the back, follow black tape towards IR sensors, detect the IR signal and fire the squash balls at a target. All this behaviour was autonomous with no user input. When it ran out of balls, it would tape follow back and pick up more squash balls.
