For today, we rewired the seven segment display to the digital pins of the Arduino. This is because the display only requires a digital signal of zeros and ones. Then, we programmed the display to show values 0-9 and A-F.

We experimented with QTI shadow sensors with the intent of having the robot roam around a table/surface while the sensors detect the edges to prevent the robot from falling.

Goals
  • Apply the QTI sensors for the robot to detect an edge and turn away from it to prevent it from falling
  • Figure out where the QTI sensors can be placed on the robot
  • Get the display to countdown

Winter Internship 2019

Winter Internship 2019 January 02, 2019 In January 2,   since I already have a robot to work on, this internship I am planning to use this opportunity to maintain the robot by comparing the speeds and the load in the robot to make it more stable. January 07, 2019 During the summer internship, I had to make several changes to the robot and it was really hard to switch the idea between one technique and another. So this time I decided to learn 3D designing and build the 3D design of the robot. It will help me to manipulate the robot by using different function. January 08, 2019 On Wednesday, I spent the whole day learning 3D designing. January 10, 2019

VEX Robotics Competition: Transformer Prototype

VEX Robotics Competition : Transformer Prototype    I ntro The creative variability design of  robots dealing with   environments that  need  some unique mobility   presents challenges that can be tackled by the application of transformation principles for innovative design that opens  a larger  menu  of things that the robot   can do.    G oals O ur  research goals  for  participating in the VEX competition  are  not limited to  tackl ing  the main  objective  tasks, but to  invest  in higher score  opportunities  that call for   creative designs . An additional 6 bonus points are awarded for the team tha t secures the   center parking platform  a t   the  end of the  competition . The  center parking   platform  can be used by robots from either allianc e, it centers the two a llia...
