 Let me tell you, the scariest day ever was the day that I realized since I am a mentor, people actually take my advice and I should be careful of what kind of advice I give. :ahh: - Elgin Clock [more] |

Re: Are we given sufficient sensors in the kit?
Something that helps software out is knowing where certain parts of your robot are. Pots (variale resistors) connected to moving arms, steering mechanisms, etc. can report back to software and help modify robot reactions and assist in auto modes.
Microswitches can be used to limit travel or sense when a moving part has just about reached it's mechanical limit. Wheel encoders/shaft encoders can be used to tell how far you have driven. |
