May 28 practice lessons learned?

I apologize guys, I should have checked the robot after the training meeting last Saturday. I didn't think anyone used it so I didn't worry about it.

Were you able to get the robot to work at all? What kind of troubleshooting did you try? What do we do if this happens on game-day? Should we invest in 2 robots if the team raises enough money? What do you think caused this problem? Do you think this kind of thing happens to professional engineers? If so, how do you think they handle it?

Again I'm sorry it didn't go as planned, but I'm glad you worked together to try and fix the problem. As much as I hate these kinds of problems - they can and do happen in all kinds of jobs. They also can teach us alot about our selves and our team. If you learned something about yourself, share it.

Thanks again to Mr. Ruehr for filling in while I was geeking-out in Baltimore. See you Saturday June 4th.

Homework

I chose to use a program flowchart. I chose this kind of flowchart because a program flowchart demonstrates how a program works within a system. These flowcharts show any and all user-interaction pathways by using boxes and arrows. Program charts can be large and complex. However, they are useful for mapping an entire program. The example I made would have the robot turn one way until it saw a dark line then it would stop.  

Second Team Meeting - May 28, 2011

At a team meeting with only Jared and I, we experienced a problem with the robot. Our goal was to recover the robot, but we failed. Due to this dismaying discovery, we just programmed and achieved all of the line following program and got a decent start with the "pill push" line task.

may 28th practice

this practice we did not get much acomplished because we were trying to figure out what was wrong with the robot because it would not start up and kept making a cliking sound we needed some help for this practice.

my home work

I will present the rest of my homework at our next meeting it's not really a flow chart but it is similar enough

superjor's goals

I want to take F.l.l. one step further and get used to real programing code another one of my goals this year is to have fun which is the whole point of this competition

Tyler's Homework, May 20

The type of flowchart I researched was a system flowchart. This would be effective with our program mapping due to listing inputs and outputs with symbols, as well as data flow. My informtation source is eHow. Click here to veiw the specific page for the information.
