Inspiration
We are friends who enjoy problem solving and creating together! (as a team, we are missing 3 keyboard keys)
What it does
Our robot is an athlete, it is able to throw a ball and navigate an obstacle course!
How we built it
We used 3 motors, two for wheels, one for the third leg to change the tilt of our robot for pick up and put down. We used an echo sensor to check for obstacles and look for the ball. We used a colour sensor to check for if we strayed from the path and to help navigate back on.
Challenges we ran into
Drive axle (we broke like 12 of them) Floating input, parts were not grounded properly thus, motors were going off unexpectedly, took a while to debug.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Third leg functionality: simple for picking up and putting down boxes Path finding: accurate (maybe slow) Good communication: Members delegated work well and each had different strengths
What we learned
How to debug quickly using trial and error! How to avoid merge conflicts!
What's next for third leg
Go up the curved ramp and improve efficiency of path finding.
