Conclusion Questions
1. Describe the objectives for this project in your own words.
The objectives in this project had to do with familiarizing us with the VEX components and ROBOTC. This project was aimed for us to enhance our planning, designing, building, and programming skills. In order to do so, our group would have to make one of the seven design problems work.
2. What were the most difficult parts of the problem? Describe the difficulties you had with these things.
The most difficult part of the problem was to create a closed loop program that used the sonar to make the machine change direction instead of using time. We had to modify our code and it took a while to get the robot to respond the way we wanted it to.
3. List and describe two features that were not part of the design problem that could be added to improve your design.
The first feature we could add is a line follower. We could have used this to sense the floor and if the floor changes from light to dark then the robot could reverse. The second feature could be a light sensor. This way if the robot senses no light, it could reverse.
4. Describe how your design and program worked during the official test? Was your design successful? Why or why not?
Our design and program worked perfectly. The robot did the action it was supposed to do which was move back and forth in a straight line using a closed loop program.
5. Describe some things you learned during this project.
I learned a lot about teamwork as we had to work together to complete the project before a certain deadline. As for the VEX program, I learned a lot about the syntax of coding and how to get the machine to do exactly what you want it to.
