Presentation
I did a brief presentation this week on the white board about robot design.
Robot Design - Going Straight
- Wheelbase - Wider is better
- Weight - Heavier is better (keeps wheels from slipping)
- Wheel Support - Reduce friction with bushings
- Reusable Battery - More consistent power
- Wall Following Helpers (wheels without rubber as guides on the side of the robot)
- Use a Jig
- Motor Matching - Large servo motors
- Avoid Gear Slack
- Center of Balance
Outline
After our talk about robot design, the kids worked on solving their missions. One of our teams had immediate success with a solution for the sorter. Yippee! Watch the video and share in their success.
Homework
No reading. Continue to think about missions and how to solve them.
