Re: pic: Mobot with familiar parts
Today was finally the day of the 2006 Mobot race at CMU, and our team won first place in the undergraduate division. Here is a picture of our final product:
![]() Features we've added since last time: A potentiometer, to calibrate speed settings on the fly. A wicket sensor (that crazy wire contraption on the front), to count the wickets as it passes through them. A separate 18V power supply for the Banner sensors, to keep them from dropping out when the motor stalls. Shielding for the Banner sensors, rings made out of masking and electrical tape. A cardboard ramp, to keep the shielding from getting stuck on cracks in the sidewalk. Clever software hacks in lieu of a tilt sensor. Here is an article about the day's events. I especially like how their spell checker turned "Mobot Slalom" into "Mobot Shalom". Thank you again to team 330 for their gracious support of our project. |
