Can Bot
Full assembly with plow in front.
Sleds added in the back for easy swiveling.
No back wheels or sliding platform. We were deciding what to use for the robot to ram the cans with.
Early stages of production...
Portfolio Guide Reflection
1. State the assignment (problem/project) in your own words.
in this assignment the objective was to create a can bot to be able to knock two bottles out of a circle.
2. What are your input factors? (What do you need to know or do before you can begin?) Include the research you did.
on the claw and to be able t add enough power to drag the bottles or cans.
3. Describe the process in detail. Explain the steps you followed in order to complete the project.
first we had one team meat start build a model and we started.
4. Describe the final output / product in detail: (what are we looking at?
a can bot is our final result
5. Describe feedback you received during the project (suggestions, comments, etc). From peers, instructor ect.. How did you use this feedback to correct issues with your project?
well we had to scrap the ideas 3 times and with help from my peers and help from mr. croke the teacher because of the height and stability.
6. What did you learn during the assignment such as tools, skills, design concepts, software, hardware, etc? ,
7. If you were to do the project again, what would you do differently and why? Provide reasons and examples
1. Make a robot that is "nocturnal." It moves around in the dark, and runs away in the light.
2. We needed to know how to use a light sensor to opperate the robot.
3. After putting a light sensor on the robot, it was all programing. After programing we realized that the light sensor was not responding to light. I found that the LED light on the sensor was interfering with the light readings. We turned the LED off and the sensor worked.
4. The robot worked according to the program.
5. Mr. Croke helped me with new componants of the prgraming such as the "greater or Equal" function.
6. I have a better understanding of programing.
7. I would keep the LED light off this time as I now know it interferes with the light sensor very much
