Student Robotics

There are news again. We have further developed our strategies in the last days. Of course we will keep this secret ;-). We also created a schedule of what we want to do over the christmas holidays, such as the vision/mechanics challenge. We also want to continue building the robot … Weiterlesen …

When our robot could drive we charged the Lipo. We were very relieved that the charger worked. The Lipo charged for an hour and when it was finished we knew it with a beep. Then we tried the robot again and it worked. It drove in a square. At that … Weiterlesen …

A few days ago, finally we were able to get the steppers to work. To do this, we programmed, thanks to one of our classmates, the appropriate code and loaded it onto the Arduino, so that our robot not only flashed, but also drove. This made us very proud, because … Weiterlesen …

We’ve done a lot of work since the last article, so we can now tell you about our latest status: For example, a classmate from the robotics class helped us expand the code via zoom meeting. In addition, we tried out the new stepper motors. Then we expanded the construction … Weiterlesen …

This week we started building our real robot. We drilled holes in 29×29cm wooden panels and thus built a scaffolding. Then we screwed on the steppers. In a next step the omniwheels were attached and covered with duct tape so that they couldn’t turn in all directions. Finally we connected … Weiterlesen …

This week we received important components for our robot, such as the tires, the motors or the steppers. Students who are with us in the robotics club gave them to us. You can see them in the picture. In addition, we talked to other people who already have a lot … Weiterlesen …

A few days ago a team from Micronova and our principal visited us in our weekly robotics lesson, as we already reported in one of our last articles. We were very pleased that everyone was very interested in our work so far and also gave us the necessary attention. To … Weiterlesen …

With the start of the new week, we found out that lipos are available to us. These are not the right ones that we need yet, but we can use them to start, but we will get the right ones soon. We have also built other models of the asteroids … Weiterlesen …

There’s news! There’s news! Next Friday, our principal and a team from the MicroNova company will visit us in our weekly robotics lesson. On that day, we will present our current status, report on our ideas and also talk about the components that are still needed. We, as a team, … Weiterlesen …

Here is a new status of our robot development: We have started working through the microgames. To do this, our team split up. One part was mainly concerned with Mission 2, so they put the base together. The other part dealt with Mission 3, they familiarized themselves with the Python … Weiterlesen …
