Design Problem- For this assignment we are required to design, build and program a robot that catapults a ball as far away as possible and then finds the ball and stops when it touches it.
Solution- After trying numerous different methods to complete the assigned task Team Lego was left with only one choice...Blue-tooth! We discovered a very helpful program on the Lego program that allows us to control our robot using the arrows on the laptop! We were so excited to find this tool because using the ultrasonic sensor was not going as smoothly as we hoped. So we decided to use this program instead of using the sensor.
Experience- Today we actually challenged our robots for the last time! Team Lego was the first group to attempt the challenge, and when we challenged we were very happy to know that our ball was catapulted the furthest. The speed of our robot, on the other hand, was the slowest. But we were somewhat satisfied to know that since our ball went the furthest the speed will not really affect our score as much as if the ball had not gone a far distance. Also today we said goodbye to our Pablo and put him back into the box...wishing him good luck for next year!
