This is VEX Robotics Team 91C's FUTURE Foundation Robot Construction Challenge video. This video shows how our Parallel Parking Robot teaches students and teachers at the Downingtown STEM Academy how to parallel park. The robot has an automatic autonomous parallel parking mode for instructional purposes and a driver operated mode so that the student can practice parallel parking. The robot is constructed from all VEX parts, with the exceptional of the upper vehicle body, which is aesthetic only. This design does fit within the challenge’s specified exterior dimensions. We recognize that parallel parking may become an automated function that is more common in the next decade. However, the need to parallel park efficiently and safely is a skill that drivers still need today. Live tests at our high school were successful with students and teachers that already knew how to parallel park and novices alike.
