Round 2 Group 1
- no name -
|
By the first day, this group has already created a program that will move their canister transporter back and forward. There are two challenges they must overcome: getting the light sensor to work and stopping the motor from falling off. On the right, you see a picture of the motor. It worked fine as long as the motor was pulling up on the gear but as soon as it reversed direction, the friction of the Lego wasn't enough to keep the motor attached. They have found a partial solution to the light sensor. They put a piece of paper in front of the sensor before they press the run button. When the paper is removed, the robot starts. The students are not satisfied that this will work to detect a film canister. |
 |
What we did was gave each person a job to do but we were still working like a group. Our robot is made to carry film containers across the class.

 |
| This is us making the first part of the robot. The Robot Brain (RCX Unit) sits on this. | Here is our Robot. The arms are not connected yet. |
We finally got our robot to run and found a way to put on the moter. We got our robot to run for 20 seconds. Right now we are in the hallway trying out our robot and fixing it up. Someone just gave us a trailer. We are trying to attach it on to our robot. It isn't working well so we are going to take it off.
