Robotik-AG des Gymnasiums Markt Indersdorf
Well… not by the blue shirts… but by us… 😉 After considering all our options, we’ve finally agreed on our first challenge. We chose the simulator challenge because it offers the greatest educational value for our team. It gives every member the opportunity to get hands-on experience with Python programming, … Weiterlesen …
Week one of the Student Robotics project has officially started now. We have discussed the first steps, made a vague plan for what to do in the future, decided on the first challenges we are going to approach, and brainstormed some initial ideas for the design of our robot. We … Weiterlesen …
We are pleased to announce that the teams for the various competitions have been set up. The work can begin. 🙂 We are particularly delighted about the large number of rookies who have joined us this year.
The 2025/2026 season is starting and brings us many exciting new tasks to work on. We look forward to seeing our friends again at the various competitions. See you soon!
We’ve successfully completed the movement challenge! After running into unforeseen difficulties at the very last minute, we were glad that we prevailed nonetheless. We were surprised to see the robot drive with the accuracy that it did after seeing it completely mess up so many times. I won’t bore you … Weiterlesen …
Shortly after making the changes from the last blog post, we tested the hardware by putting code into the Arduino UNO, but for some reason, nothing happened no matter how we changed the code. After a couple of hours of trying, we realized that the circuit didn’t work as intended … Weiterlesen …
Since the last blog post about our hardware, we realized a small rookie mistake with the wiring: We connected the stepper motors with a servo board, which doesn’t make sense because stepper motors aren’t servos. Thus we needed to change some things up and connect the motors to microstep drivers … Weiterlesen …
As most of our team isn’t familiar with coding for robotics yet, we had to start by learning the absolute basics. Working through the Microgames was especially handy, as it gave us a relatively approachable starting point for our programming journey. We also read the docs on the Student Robotics … Weiterlesen …
As we needed to replicate at least some parts of the arena to test our strategy accurately, we replicated the so called high rises, which are pedestals fixated to the ground. Cutting out the exact right cardboard size for the boxes was a bigger challenge than expected. In the end, … Weiterlesen …
As our first challenge this year, we have chosen the movement challenge. With the deadline rapidly approaching, we’re already working hard on fulfilling the essential requirements. This week, we set up the very first circuit. This will enable the wheels that we attached last week to move. So you can … Weiterlesen …
