Week Three Update

By Week Three the group aimed to start Line Tracking, Passenger Counting and Robot Construction. The group repositioned the light sensors on the robot so that the robot could consistently track and follow a straight black line. There were still issues when it came to following the corner edges of the arena. The team’s goal for next week is to successfully navigate around the perimeter of the arena.

During lab, the team was able to program the color sensor to recognize and display certain colors. The team was able to program the robot to display the number of passengers on its screen, however the robot is only able to display one color passenger at a time, and can only count upwards, not downwards. For next week the team hopes to resolve these issues and successfully display the entire passenger count on the display screen.  

For the following weeks the team hopes to adjust the light sensors more so that the sweep of the light sensors can be greater. This will hopefully result in the light sensors being more sensitive, making the line tracking abilities of the robot more accurate.
