Bigoli was a RoboRacing competitive bot that competed through the 2016-2018 academic years in the Sparkfun Autonomous Vehicle Competiton (AVC) before the competition's retirement in 2019. The competition tested the robot's ability to carry a human passenger while autonomously navigating a course. The emphasis was on relatively smooth controls, enforced with the human passenger having to carry a water cup and shoot a foam dart gun at targets during the competition.
