Solution- Starting out with this project we had a couple of ideas to test. First of all we decided that the catapult that we are going to build should be long rather than short because a longer catapult will throw the ball farther. We will attach the catapult to a third motor that will throw the catapult forward thus tossing the ball. Also we are going to use the ultrasonic sensor to search for the ball and move towards it. Due to the fact that we are not very familiar with the Lego Mindstorm program, we are not yet sure exactly how to program the robot to accomplish this task. But we are determined to create a robot that will bet all the others!
Experience- Today was a rather disappointing day for TeamLego. Our robot came in last place in the last challenge because it did not at all follow the line. We were disappointed with our results because when we tested the robot at home it worked perfectly but when it came to the real deal it did not preform at the level we were hoping for. Also today we started working on the catapult assignment.
