In this challenge, I need to make a robot, which passes obstacle courses, composed by total of 6 missions.
1. Start w/Clap
2. Stop 5 sec in Box
3. Pump Pillar, then Back Up & Turn Right
4. Sense Wall, then Turn right w/o touching it
5. Avoid Obstacle
6. Stop after line.
I must need all the sensors (touch, sound, ultrasonic, light, and motor) to complete this obstacle course.
For the 1st one, I must need sound sensor, as the robot has to be able to hear a clap sound.
2nd one, I will use motor sensor, as the motor sensor measures the time of rotating the motor.
For the 2nd one, I might also can use light sensor to complete 2nd mission. Light sensor will detect the black line, and the robot will stop, after sensing and passing the black line.
3rd one, I obviously need touch sensor, as the robot has to bump pillar.
4th one, I require ultrasonic sensor, as the robot can not bump, and has to be able to detect the wall.
5th one, I think, I should use ultrasonic sensor, so that the robot will not hit the object, and change direction, before passing the obstacle.
For the 6th one, the light sensor will help my robot to finish the course, as the sensor will detect the black line, and makes the robot to stop.

good job. there is only one thing that I would recommend you change. I recommend you change step 2 where you stop in the box. In this stage I plan on using the light sensor which will be a little more accurate. Good Luck!!
ReplyDeleteGood job your explaination on the obstacle course is very detail and you explain what sensors are being used for each scenario.
ReplyDeletePretty average plan,
ReplyDeleteIf you dont mind me suggesting, Tyler had a really good idea which is to slow down your robot before it makes physical contact with the pillar in order to avoid change in direction/plan - i plan to consider this in my plan and you should too. The last obstacle is a worthy challenge and shouldn't be taken lightly, but u r right, by using the ultrasonic sensor to detect the object.
Nash. Good Luck.
