The 2016 Autonomous Snowplow Competition has officially started with the receipt of team applications,
which were due on 18 September 2015, and officially ended after the final dynamic competition on
Sunday, 31 January 2016.
After some very good student presentations, there was lots of keen competition during the dynamics events on
