MAI Cup

There was an update of the rulebook. Take a look!

In the first week of November, we got to know our project a bit and organised our team – consisting of Catrina, Jonas, Maxi and Sophie. We have already thought up the first strategy and decided to carry out all the disciplines, which means that our robot must be able … Weiterlesen …

In season 2022/2023 it’s all about playing with balls: Tennis, soccer, basket ball. Did you know that you can play all those games at once? Take a look at the MAI Cup! The rulebook for season 2022/2023 is available now.

There will be a season 2022/2023 for the MAI Cup. Registration is open!

The MAI Cup competition took place in Markt Indersdorf! It was for the first time that we hosted our own competition. There were four teams competing: MAI senior, MAI junior, Fos/Bos Ingolstadt and team Schrottbot. We had music, a lot to eat and even more fun! 🙂 Each robot had … Weiterlesen …

This week we soldered the electrical power supply, again. We tested the bot and adjusted the data of parts like the color sensor. We agreed on using the line detection only if we will be able to turn left or right. The magnetic sensor will only show us the short … Weiterlesen …

This week not everything went as we hoped. For example, we hoped our bot would drive through the test maze with not many problems, but one infrared sensor didn’t work, because the hole was too small. So we fixed that issue. But the next problem was, that we couldn’t test … Weiterlesen …

In the holydays we finally wired up our new rechargeable battery, which now works really well. We also worked on our idea about the line following mode, so we can concentrate on it if it’s necessary. This code snippet also works really well, so we had extra time to set … Weiterlesen …

This week we’ve worked on the accuracy of the color sensor by creating a diagram. We also created a script which shows us when our sensor can detect a line and when it can’t. Now we can see which figure goes with which colour. We’ve also came up with a … Weiterlesen …

This week we focused on installing the color sensor, so we soldered the cables and wired it up. We also changed the code so we can see its output, the color values, right away. Now the only things left to do is to test it on the black lines and … Weiterlesen …
