Student teams (2-3 people each) will train mini autonomous vehicles (AWS DeepRacers) using machine learning and then test out their trained models on Race Day on April 5th to compete against other student teams with the cars racing on a physical track.  The DeepRacers are equipped with cameras and sensors, and teams will be able to use the sensors to detect and avoid obstacles placed on the track while racing to turn in the best lap time. All teams will be invited to a training session by Amazon to learn how to create and train the models.

The winning team will receive scholarship money ($1,000/team member) to be applied to their RMU accounts.  Additional prizes will also be available. The deadline for teams to sign up is February 10th. See below for details.
