Abstract
This is a report of the project for the course 2D1426 Robotics and Autonomous Systems. It describes the ideas and the design of the Ad Hoc robot. It covers the main design goals, implementation and results. The goal of the robot was to play table hockey, and above all to be able to score a goal. This was actually accomplished during the qualification round for a table hockey tournament. However, the robot never managed to score during any of the actual games. It was built of Lego bricks, and controlled by a micro controller.
