Bergen STEM Robotics

These last 4 days have been quite productive for our team. Again focusing on our three main aspects of  Programming ,  Designing , and  Constructing were able to use the designs to construct the robot which will then allow us to focus our efforts on the programming. Programming team was able to slightly test their program on the final day as the completion of the robot came together. The movement and turning was definitely quicker as the new robot was based on a minimalist style which kept it light. The slightly completed arm also received a makeover with lighter pieces and a new gear ration aimed for torque. After testing it with the programming all that is left for the programming aspect is to work out as many kinks as possible. Snippet of Completed Program Designing has completed a lot within the four day gap. Managing to complete both the base with custom parts and the arm that was subjected to multiple changes all that is left is the claw mechanism

A lot of things have happened to the robot over the Winter Internship. Since our last competition, we have encountered many design ideas. Over the week we have focused our efforts on 3 different aspects of the robot: Programming , Designing , and Constructing . Clean up of the photo with new claw On the programming side of the robot, a huge cleanup has occurred since the robot began to twitch and freeze in our last competition. By cleaning the robot's programming the way that the cortex processes information will be different. In addition to the main code, the Programming Team was able to code for the potentiometer which measures the angular position of the shaft that goes through it. This allows us to compensate for the arm falling down as well as programming for specific arm height. Finally, the programming team will finish off with programming the autonomous section of the robot as well as removing further problems in the code. Mapping of the controller Design Team
