Eurobot is an international competition where autonomous robots are competing against each other. This contest is organized in every year since 1998. This article introduces the electrical and mechanical designing steps of an autonomous robot, which was constructed for the contest. Additionally upgraded parts of the electrical system compared to previous years are also presented in this paper. We go into details about the positioning system, which includes absolute and relative positioning methods, and we analyze the development opportunities of them. The introduction of the hardware and software architecture, navigation algorithm are also part of this article. We focus on the designing experiences and development opportunities of the system.
