The Raging Robot Team: Freyana Reid Akshat

media type="custom" key="9408602"

Important goals our team would like to achieve:
 * To get the claw to stop dragging across the floor
 * To get the programmes to work the way we want it to
 * To make our robot to pick up the aliminium can and hold it securly
 * To make the robot bring the can back to us
 * For the touch senser to do it's job well

__Week 3__

Today we've been thinking about where and how to attach our claw so it can touch and pick up up the aliminiun can and bring it back to us. Watch us struggle and come together to find a solution!

After a while of trial and error our group finally came a solution. It was awesome fun!!





__ Week 4 __ Today we are working on finishing our robots and coming up with the final product. The main point of today is getting the robot ready and then start to install the programs and software into the robot we are aiming for! This is what it looked like before we started:



Right now we are trying to make our claw straight instead of it dragging accross the floor.

Here, Reid and Akshat are explaining to the teachers from Western Austrailia about what we are doing.



__ Week 5 __

This week we are focusing on making the design of our robot better and get a good way through programming it.

Watch our two mechanics, Reid and Akshat work continuously and think nonstop!!! We have a problem that we are trying to solve. The problem is that whenever our robot touches the can we need to make it actually pick up the can.

We need to make our robot follow these steps

Step 1: Run and find the can Step 2: Touch the can and actually know that it is a can Step 3: Wrap the claws around the can and lift it of the floor Step 4: Turn around and bring the can back to us





__ Week 6 __ Today we are mainly proramming the whole time on NXT Lego programming When we install ultra sonic view in our robot we expect it to find the can and pick it up. After it has picked up the can we expect it to bring it back to us. Look at our built robot:



We are having some problems, as we just relised that the touch sensor is useless, good for nothing as it is behind the claw instead of it being in front of the claw... We'll just have to wait and see what happens, if it turns out as we planned it or...



__ Week 7 __ Today we are fixing the claw and trying to do some programming. Look at myself trying to get a snap of myself and the robot but apparantly saw that Akshat popped his head in. :) HEHEHE



__ Week 8 __ Today we are hoping to get some programming done and get a good way through it. During our programming today we are planning to make our robot rotate a whole 360 degree turn and make it stop when it sees the robot.

__ Week 9 __ Today we are programming and testing, programming and re-testing, programming and re-testing until we get it right. Unfortunitly we keep on getting it wrong... BUT we will get it someday. LOL!! If you wanted to know what our programming looks this is it! __ Week 10 __ Today is the last day for our robots!!!! - POOR THEM! We finally got the ultra sonic sensor to work and are progressing heaps! Today we are going to have to pack up early as we have to take the robots apart So SADLY this is the last weekly blog you are going to read I know, sad to say because it was written amazingly by FREYANA KAIKOBADI Why thank you for your appreciation __﻿__ __THIS WHOLE WIKI PAGE WAS MADE BY FREYANA!!__ __CYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA__ __Hopefully next time! __
