We went back to work with the IR sensor and LED, but with a few adjustments. We added another IR sensor and LED to the robot; the first sensor to the left and the newly added sensor to the right. Since this is similar to the other time we worked with the IR sensor and LED the first time, we copied the code from our previously-written programs DetectTurnMove and SerialYunMove, and added some new code. With our new program, TwoIR_6_29_2015, the robot was able to move and avoid objects on its own.

LED and IR sensor wiring diagrams
We used these figures from pages 238-239 in the book "Robotics with the Boe-Bot" as reference for wiring the LEDs and IR sensors


Goal
  • Make the robot move autonomously by adding to it a second set of sensor and LED
Program written
  • TwoIR_6_29_2015

Summer 2 Internship 2018

07/05/2018 Zachary managed to finish redesigning the extending claw. While the overall mechanism is now smaller than the original, it still has some of the same issues; the claw itself is too bulky and two motors may be needed to raise or lower the arm. After building the prototype for the launcher Deepa started working on the launcher by attaching it to the base. the base that I built using mecannum wheel and four motors for each and to increase the speed of the motors I used the chains and sprockets. 07/09/2018 Zachary is working on a prototype for the arm's turntable and lifting mechanism. Depending on the length of the lifting mechanism, he should be able to mount the arm on or near a corner of the robot. This should help resolve any mobility and dimension issues presented by the original approach, as well as make loading the launching mechanism easier. The lifting mechanism's concept can be described as "a glorified lever." The extending claw will be ra...

Bergen Community College Robotics Spring Internship 2017 Initially, the old robotics team would like to welcome some of the new members into the team. OLD TEAM NEW TEAM (Members of the old team are only missing from the picture, not the team) Oh and we missed tyler, so here he is...... New Members: Deepa Banjara Alexandra Cortez Tyler Laursen-Carr The BCC STEM Robotics Team is developing a ball launching robot using Autodesk Inventor for design purposes and Robot C for programming purposes. The team has developed 4 major concerns about the design for the robot. First, the robot must gather the balls that are laying on the ground. Second, the robot must feed these balls to an elevator. Third, the elevator must elevate the ball to the launcher. Fourth, the launcher must be able to have varying angles in which it can launch the balls. To account for all of these factors, the designing team had to draw some sketches and ideas on the board for ...
