Robotics Final Mission

Day 1

In our first day of the Final Mission of Robotics Vishva,Liam and I were just listing down the things we are going to do in this mission.

 

We wrote down:

1. do a presentation about your creature

2. Finish the mission successfully

3.make an attachment to add to Dash

4. make a tracking device

5. draw the food source with Dash.

 

We decided that we wanted to draw the food source first before we start anything. Me and Liam didn’t know how to draw the food source with Dash. Vishva brought dash’s sketch kit and showed us how to draw with the kit. he showed us by saying”So how to draw with this kit is like it is almost the same as normal controlling but you just have to add any color of these markers. Also you have to add the marker holder on to Dash to make the marker write or even draw with it”. When we started to draw a rectangle for our shape I said “this is really easy, on one of 2 of the sides has to be longer and the other two have to be shorter”. Both of them agreed on that one. We did that and it worked. Then we tried to draw a triangle I knew that a triangle had to be in the middle of the backward L. I knew that the straight line up is 90 and the line to the side is 0 so half of ninety is obviously 45. I told them both that and then Vishva quickly wrote that down in our program. The first time we tried the triangle it failed but Liam said “he made a mistake. I quickly corrected it and we tried again. This time it worked and all of us were very happy.

Day 2

Before our second day I drew 2 polar vortexes for our mission to make sure they are good. When we arrived Vishva said”i figured out a way to pick up the ballĀ  and he showed us a long plastic stick on the bottom and told us what that was for. We agreed with him. When we ran our program it started to not work so we kept going forward and backward in the program. That whole time we tried doing it with the program until finally we used a if sense move back 40.

 

Day 3

On the third day when Liam was not here we just kept trying the program but it all did not work because the tape was still not in the right place.

Day 4

On the fourth day Vishva and me both drew a jellyfish and a Crayfish for the food source drawing and tried it for the test. Since it was almost our last day we had to use our hands a little to get the mission to work. Still it did not work until finally it worked.

 

Day 5

On the last day all we had to do was the presentation. When we talked about what we are supposed to do in the mission Vishva announced in a very funny voice “Our friend Liam was not here today so goodbye”. That created a lot of interest to our presentation. After that we were all exhausted. The end
