Design Problem- For this assignment we are required to design, program and create a robot that will be able to participate in a tug-or-war challenge with another robot. Using specific computer programs, we need to program the robot to turn on upon sensing a loud noise (e.g. a clap) and activate the motors that we use. The design that we choose to create must be one that will suffice in overpowering the other robot.
Solution- We decided to program the robot so that it will move the three motors in the reverse direction thus pulling away from the competing robot. Our design method consisted of a four wheel base, strongly held together by various parts, and a heavy top that will add to the weight of the robot and make it harder for the other robot to pull.
Experience- After all the hard work we put into our robot, we were pretty satisfied with the results we obtained from the competitions. In the first two rounds we competed and against the Build-a-Bears and Mark and the Powell Kids and won both races. The third competition we had was against Team J3T2 and we ended up losing that competition, but overall we got a 94% which is great!
