This week, I presented our final presentation. I began working on the final poster and report. We focused heavily on testing our robot. I filmed the robot climbing up the ramp and tested it on the ground to see how our wheels were performing. I found that the wheels were uneven, causing the robot to drive in multiple directions. To fix this, I removed the wheels and meticulously repositioned them until they rolled straight. I also tried to glue the remaining wheels to prevent them from falling off during testing, however, I might try and use super glue instead of hot glue later.<\/p>\n
For testing, we built a ramp, and every time the robot went up, I moved it back to its starting position. During some of the tests, I discovered we didn\u2019t need to implement our system with two batteries.<\/p>\n
This week, we are on schedule with our robot, and we continue to test it regularly. We also have spare parts ready in case anything breaks.<\/p>\n
Next week, we will test the robot to get it into its best condition. We plan to finish all final class documentation (poster, video, and final report) and prepare for a great demonstration. I might also superglue the wheels to the axis to keep them straight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
