This week we managed to build in three colour sensors. With the help of those sensors, we can measure the intensity of the reflected light. The reflected light shows us the colour of the bottom of the maze. Those are the pieces of information we need so that our robot … Weiterlesen …
At the moment we are processing the parachute because we accidentally miscalculated the required size and the cords were too thick. We’ve almost doubled the size of the parachute, thus the cansat should get the right rate of fall. We also use a different fabric that is better suited for … Weiterlesen …
This week we managed to get the bot to follow a straight corridor. The code was reworked again. Now the bot can drive itself out of the maze. Take a look at our considerations: In order to make it a lot faster we had to buy a line sensor and … Weiterlesen …
Sadly, the competition is not going to take place in person. Instead, there is going to be a virtual launch of the cansats.
Our robot is finally built. We now have an aluminium case, and the gear box is working like it is shown in the video. The only problem we encountered so far is that the centre of mass is not correctly placed so we must adjust it with some changes. In … Weiterlesen …
We want to give you a little insight into our work. Here you can see the cabling and the basic data flow of our robot. Take a look: We also did some additional test runs. There is still a lot of work to do:
We tried to make our CanSat more stable by gluing foam around it for protection, but when we tested it the bottom of the satellite broke again. So we decided to do a completely new design, which we hope will come out of it with no damage so it will … Weiterlesen …
This week we plugged in the ultrasonic sensors. It took quite some time to figure out the right ports. In order to program the ultrasonic sensors we reworked the code to make the sensors work. We also added comments so that everyone in our team can easily understand the code. … Weiterlesen …
There was a minor change of the ruleset. Thus the rulebook was updated to version 0.6. Take a look!
We finally have 3d printed the body of the robot. So, all that’s left to do since the code is done and the motors and sensors work is to assemble the gearbox that is also 3d printed and then we are ready to go into the testing phase! So, in … Weiterlesen …
