Student Robotics: Final Tests
As we will be leaving for England on Thursday morning, we are making our final tests! We have faced some problems with both the hardware and the code, but we are confident that everything will be fixed until our departure. Our main focus for our tests is of course our … Weiterlesen …
Student Robotics: Robot Tests
At the moment we are mainly executing bot tests and developing the related software, including the movement patterns within the arena, the enhanced orientation and the vision logic. Unfortunately, we can’t share much about the strategic portion of the code. However, we can proudly report that the bot drives quite … Weiterlesen …
Student Robotics: A driving bot?!
We actually fixed the problem and can confirm that our bot is driving (in every direction, if needed): Now we will be fully concentrating on testing, testing, and testing! (This blog post should have been online over a week ago. 🙂 ) (author: Yannick)
Student Robotics: Working on a Fix
We have decided to disassemble the bot again to replace some parts in order to fix the problem with the turning moment of the motors. Your chance to get a closer look on some of our parts: In the video below you can see that the wheels are at least … Weiterlesen …
Student Robotics: To Drive Or Not To Drive
Our robot is able to drive… Almost! The wheels, the motors, the electronics, everything is working (you can see that in the video below), but we still have a problem with actually moving the bot around: The turning moment of the motors is too small for our relatively heavy bot, … Weiterlesen …
Schüler bauen Roboter: Improving the Robot
We are now in week 17 and are excited to share that we have made significant progress on our robot. We are happy to announce that we have completed all of the hardware! In particular, we have finished constructing the wheels and have enlarged the cutouts for them. Additionally, we … Weiterlesen …
didacta Stuttgart – A Travel Diary
Dear diary! This Thursday, the 9th of march, the boys and girls from the robotic team took me out for a little trip to Stuttgart to visit the didacta fair! You can’t imagine how excited I was since I haven’t been to Stuttgart before and you don’t get to visit … Weiterlesen …
Student Robotics: A robot that actually looks like a robot
We have finished building the structure of the bot and are halfway through installing the electronics! In the photos you can see the structure of the bot (an aluminum chassis with different floors – we were trying to make it as robust as possible) and some of the electronics already … Weiterlesen …
Student Robotics: Virtual Competition Results
The virtual competition on last week’s Saturday went well for us: With our two first place, a second place and a fourth place in four matches, we can be quite happy with ourselves. With the league points these results and our challenge submissions give us, we are now in eighth … Weiterlesen …
