NXT Mindstorm sets have invaded our classroom and given a real understanding of the need to be accurate about the assumptions we make when we construct and predict the project environment
Although we didnt win in either of the Tasks there is alot to be learnt from the precautions that need to be taken in order to ensure that a consistant result is achieved.
Programing a robot is a long process. The variables that can effect your robot are so apparent when it comes time to be assessed. Two particular issues that came to my mind is in mapping a path you must totally understand the terrain the vehicle will travel. Slopes, Slants Carpet, Floors Doors etc. Also a particular issue that we had is showing the character created( Chucky) identity through construction, movement and design.
With alot of the auora of our character being focused on his personality trait as a two faced alter ego it was hard to depict this through a robot and show an emotional deficiency
But the learning gained in this team exercise adds substance to the knowledge bank for future projects
Stay Tuned Guys !!! :)
