Robot Challenge of the Week...
Make a VERY STURDY chassis. The Mindstorm "brick" brain should not necessarily be a part of this chassis. Once the bot has been shown to have NO wobbly, weak or shaky parts you must write several programs to show that it can:
- Travel as straight across the length of our game mat ( 8 feet )
- Excellent - up to 2 cm off from center
- Good - up to 5 cm off from center
- Needs work for any other results
- Travel BACKWARDS as straight across the length of our game mat ( 8 feet )
- Same scoring for forwards
- Turn EXACTLY 360° (so that it faces the exact same way as it started). NOTE how many inches from where it started. NOTE how big a circle it made.
- Excellent - 10° off from start
- Good - 20° off from start
- Needs work for all other results
- Given a random distance between 20 and 200 cm... Program it in once without testing.
- Excellent - 1% off from distance. ie 100 cm challenge was under 1 cm off
- Good - 5% off from distance. ie 100 cm challenge was under 5 cm off
- Needs work for all other results
- BONUS, if you can program it at the table to do distance by setting a variable rather than using USB

Forward 180° turn and return.
How about testing... - 360° turn - reverse |
