## **autonomy** *(noun)*
6+
/əˈtänəmē/

1. The ability of a robot or system to perform tasks and make decisions without human intervention.
9+
2. Freedom from external control or influence; independence.
10+
3. The right or condition of self-government.

At WATonomous, we value the following:
30+
31+
- **Humility:** Never act smarter than anyone else. Everyone starts somewhere, so never knock someone down for at least trying.
32+
- **Inclusivity:** All that matters is that you want to become a robotics engineer, nothing else. We will provide you the resources to become one no matter your background.
33+
- **Independence:** Our team is competition-independant. We function off of a diverse number of robotics projects driven by curiousity, ingenuity, and wow-factor.
34+
- **Dreamy Pragmatism:** The future is bright. In our lifetime, robots will do our chores, drive our cars, and send us to mars. However, the people who are gonna get us there aren't the ones with their head in the clouds.
35+
- **Grit:** You're gonna need it.

# WATonomous Admission Assignments
22

3-
This is a directory of Assignments that are used to evaluate and train potential members of the team. Rule is, if you finish the assignment, then you are part of the team. Note: individuals can skip the assignment should they posses skills that WATonomous desperately needs.

**Note:** WATonomous hosts waves of group-admissions, where people interested in joining the team can work together to finish the assignment. This is called the **Expedited Admission**, and anyone who completes the assignment partially (cutoff determined on date expedited period ends) is allowed to join the team.
