2.007 Forever!

This year, 2.007 instructors modeled the game board after the movie “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” scenes of which were filmed on and around the MIT campus. Putting an MIT spin on the theme, the instructors billed the robot challenge as “Machina Forever” (“machina” is Latin for “machine”). Tuesday’s event marked the culmination of 2.007, a final competition between the top-performing robots. It’s really fun to see.”Across the boardThis year’s 2.007 game board was inspired by “Wakanda Forever’s” main character, Shuri, the Black Panther’s sister and a scientist who attempts to manipulate DNA to recreate an essential herb. At the center of the game board, robots could lift a bracelet off a stand for more points.
