ROBOT COmparision

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of robot? Click here to add your thoughts.

Mission Strategy

What type of motions does each of the 15 missions require? Are there ways to complete the mission that are unexpected? Can we use the same robot to solve multiple missions?

Here is the field map which we can use to help devise our mission strategy. What order should we go in to fit the most missions into our 2.5 minute competition time?

Coding the Robot

What motors and sensors do we need to use in order to complete a mission? In what order should we use those motors and sensors? 

Here is a form we can use to help us write pseudocode. Using this pseudocode, Coach Ray, Coach Michelle, or one of the advanced team members can help you write the program in coding blocks to transfer to your robot. 

Here is a version that you can be printed for your notebooks:

Designing the robot

How can we design our robot so that we can complete multiple missions in the same 2.5 minute run? Do we want the same robot to solve all the missions without modification? Do we want to have attachments that can be easily removed and added between missions? Do we want to have a robot with a lot of attachments that get removed as missions are completed?

Here are some of the missions that seem the most challenging. Be thinking about ways we can design a robot to complete these missions:

iterate

Solving these missions is going to take a lot of trial and error. If one strategy doesn't work, don't give up! Keep working to improve and refine your solution. 😊
