Today our team members met in the school library at 11am to continue working and progressing our engineering design project.
First, we started our meeting by connecting the sensors properly to the robot, we checked and discussed which sensors we will need in order to successfully operate the robot.
Second, we tested the light, Ultrasonic, and touch sensors to make sure they all work as needed.
Third, the team built and tested simple programs to better understand how the codes affect the robot. Moreover, we tested different motor commands; we tried moving the robot forward and backward for an interval of time, we tested the circle turns making the robot move in wide circles, then we changed the values to make the robot turn around itself. We were also successful in making the robot make right and left turns in a 90 degree angle. We then programmed the light/color sensor to try making the robot follow a certain line of the same color, we tried different colors and different sensors and we learned that light greatly affect the accuracy and the performance of the robot's motion.
Finally, we tried to test the Bluetooth function and we were successful in giving commands to our robot wirelessly. The team created a google drive folder and arranged to meet again on Monday October 26, 2015 to continue testing codes and writing new ones.
We now have a fully functional car
