Student Robotics: „Hello World!“

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 …

Student Robotics: Precision Crafting

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 …

Student Robotics: Upgrading the Design

As mentioned in our previous post, we’ve adjusted the design according to the feedback that we got from our peers. We didn’t account for possible inaccuracies occurring in the robot’s movement in the first design. Thus, we made the opening in the front wider in this second version so that … Weiterlesen …

Student Robotics: Laying the Foundation

These wheels attached to this frame lay the groundwork for our whole bot and enable us to tackle the movement challenge! Some work still lies ahead of us till we can accomplish the challenge, but it’s an important first step in the right direction. Adjustments must still be made as … Weiterlesen …

Student Robotics: First Concept

After brainstorming a bunch of ideas, we decided on our very first design for this project, which you can also see below. After getting some feedback from our peers, we’ll rework this prototype to be even better than it is right now. But seeing this first version makes us look … Weiterlesen …

Student Robotics: Preparation is Key

We gathered all the required parts and checked if we’ve got everything that we need. Though disassembling the old ladybug-bot is kind of sad, that only means that we get to start anew and explore new ideas! Stay tuned to what comes next as we take on the first challenge! … Weiterlesen …

Student Robotics: The Finals

At the end of the student robotics blog we would like to tell you about the finals: Unfortunately there were a few difficulties on the first day, such as a broken tire part and a technical problem for the Blueshirts. But after we were able to replace the tire part … Weiterlesen …
