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:

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 …

This week we tried to program some code to measure the distance to the wall. To do that we need an ultrasonic sensor. One of our team members took the time and he installed the sensor, so the only thing left to do was to create a code, which had … Weiterlesen …

We ordered a lot of parts and started programming the code. We also started building the robot. We wired everything, built the outer shell, installed the motor controller and attached the tires. We have also programmed the robot so that it drives independently. Images and videos for proof incoming. Stay … Weiterlesen …

This is just a short update to what is currently going on. The first prototype of the robot is being 3d printed right now and we expect to work with it in a few days. We didn’t order the parts yet because none of our team members wants to order … Weiterlesen …

We have ordered the motor controller, and have made a few designs of the motor holder and the tires. We have also begun the design of the complete model, but this is not finished. Also we have made sketches on One Note. We have overworked the list of parts, and … Weiterlesen …

Since our design is mostly finished, we can start to 3d print our robot. We also have to order the parts we don’t have yet. The biggest problem will probably be the axis since we have to convert the rotation from above to the side. But we already have a … Weiterlesen …
