Student Robotics 2016/2017

In the  last video it might have seemed like our code was working perfectly, but even the mighty TEAM MAI  can sometimes make some mistakes. Take a look: (author: Thorben)

For last two years Team Systemetric and  Team MAI  (we) have had some rather similar costumes. It would be really funny if the same were the case this year. We are really looking forward to meeting some cool  teams at the competition. Until then: „Glück auf“! (author: Thorben)

This week we got a lot done! We switched over from two omniwheels to one swiveling wheel at the back to reduce friction. We got our servos to finally turn 180° by using our Arduino instead of the SR-Servoboard. We did some touch-ups to the bots inertia (some of which … Weiterlesen …

WE’RE FINALLY TESTING!!! While our code was already finished before Christmas we have had some hiccups with our hardware. Trying our best to get stepper motors to work, switching to dc motors when realizing that steppers weren’t strong enough, wasting a lot of time trying to get our robot to … Weiterlesen …

Before our holidays we had some problems with our Ruggeduino, we thought it might be broken, so we decided to switch over to an arduino.  Big thanks to Rich and Peter from the blue shirts to helping us with our arduino. Hopefully we can start testing the entire robot this … Weiterlesen …

Following our first video, we just released another video explaining parts of our code. This video focused on how we calculate the position of other tokens and robots in the arena. Take a look: (author: Thorben)

Last Friday we built up the arena, or at least half of it.We are gonna be using it for debugging, just like the last two years. Take a look: (author: Thorben)

As promised, we just released a new video, explaining how we calculate our position inside the arena. Take a look: (author: Thorben)

This week we did some work on building our robot. Seeing as coding has been completed, we can focus all our efforts on finishing the robots hardware, so we can start the testing everything together soon. We were also going to release a video on how our robot calculates its … Weiterlesen …
