We finished the parachute: we used the new fabric band and adjusted the cords. We also improved our folding technique. We tested the parachute by throwing it off the school roof with a prototype of our CanSat. Take a look: We are proud to say: After our devastating first test… … Weiterlesen …
The last weeks we have been very productive. We have been busy with the motor controllers. Since we always take the components of the last years, but sometimes parts break, we use 2 different motor controllers for our little robot. We also started to work on the base plate, on … Weiterlesen …
This week we almost finished our CanSat. We revised and adapted the cover once more. The hull design is now finished. Take a look: (author: Sophie)
This week we rebuilt the line sensors because they hadn`t worked properly. Finally, they do their job. We went on coding the bot. We coded more than 300 lines. The first code is almost finished. The bot can now drive through the maze. We are about to fit in the … Weiterlesen …
This week we managed to build in three colour sensors. With the help of those sensors, we can measure the intensity of the reflected light. The reflected light shows us the colour of the bottom of the maze. Those are the pieces of information we need so that our robot … Weiterlesen …
At the moment we are processing the parachute because we accidentally miscalculated the required size and the cords were too thick. We’ve almost doubled the size of the parachute, thus the cansat should get the right rate of fall. We also use a different fabric that is better suited for … Weiterlesen …
This week we managed to get the bot to follow a straight corridor. The code was reworked again. Now the bot can drive itself out of the maze. Take a look at our considerations: In order to make it a lot faster we had to buy a line sensor and … Weiterlesen …
Sadly, the competition is not going to take place in person. Instead, there is going to be a virtual launch of the cansats.
Our robot is finally built. We now have an aluminium case, and the gear box is working like it is shown in the video. The only problem we encountered so far is that the centre of mass is not correctly placed so we must adjust it with some changes. In … Weiterlesen …
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:
