Our current, and probably last challenge is a LeMans type robot race. The robots will move around the room in a figure eight and return to the starting line. It would be simiple except for the chairs and tables in the way. You have to adjust the time for each straight away and the time for each turn so that the robot doesn't run into anything and get off track. This is definitely not as easy as it sounds because the more you run the robot the more you use up the battery. The weaker the battery the slower the robot goes which changes the time it takes.
This means you have to test it over and over again and make adjustments until it makes it all the way around. Then you have to hope you didn't use up the batteries to where it slows down too much.
Some of you have already discovered that the wrong type of tires keep you from turning quickly and that slows you down too much. Or worse, it blows your engine off the frame from too much torque.
How is you robot design and programming working?

terrilble i didnt do any thing
My is working good. It's not the best but it's O.K.
it is doing preety good but it is confusing but iam ready for to do the figuer 8.
My program is working o.k. I am ready to see the races. I think it will be fun.
My programming is going good, I have the first two turn good. But atleast I save the movement. So I can edit it. But I'm about done with it.
good,but my partner dose not wont to bo any work!!!
the race that we did last week was hard becase we had to connetc a lot of things it was so hard becase becase we did not no wat the time was.
The project of the robot was a little diffacult but then i looked at it agian and then me and itziri were building it and then we thought well,this is easy and it really was.
it is going all wrong i really dont get it at all. and its is very hard for me to program it because i dont know how to do it and my partner is really no help ...
my program is doing well because it works fine
the race will be fun but then programing is hard because nobody have done with the programing an that can make a big different in all the groups and we always have problems with the programing but now the programin look goods
i dont no because i dont work do ant thing
sicerly your friens
It is going good.We need just to promegram it.
Making the robot go around the tables making a figure it's not esey because you have to change alot of things in the computer to make it go like it supoes to
The to day I was making my robot move around the class room. Are robot was not doing not arite next time. I well do better but that was rell cool diss time. I am going to fix it.
muy bien para nos otros gracias por todo lo que dicen lo hacen para que yo y mas personas aprendan gracias por toda su ayuda.
the robot is working good but my partner does not help that much.but we are almost done all we have to do is try it out to see if it works.....
It is easy to make my robot. But my prarner won't help me.
the catapult was so bad for my group and i want to win the race now because last time We were like to close to win but we always have problems
robots are verry challenging but i,m sure to figure out how to challenge the robots.
This changle is hard becaus I can't figher it out. and my robot kepp on turing.
My robot is designed with the O rings in the front and the small terain tires in the back. The programing takes a while to figure out, then when you get past a certain turn or staight-a-way you have to change the number again. It can get on your nerves but it is also fun.
it was alright but ain't that fun next time you should make it funner and it might have lots fun cause it is not fun at all.
I love Robots but,it is really hard to program it when you don't know how to .
