Reflections (Engineering Design Common Assessment)
1. State the assignment (problem/project) in your own words.
This assignment is basically building a robot from scratch and being able to program the robot to make it move, stop, turn, and follow a line.
2. What are your input factors? (What do you need to know or do before you can begin?) Include the research you did.
You need to know how to assemble a robot which we used a template and changed it so our robot functions good, also we programmed the robot using lab tech which we learned from our teacher.
3. Describe the process in detail. Explain the steps you followed in order to complete the project.
we followed a template on how to build a robot that moves and my partner and I thought that we could change the robot a little to make it more durable and efficient. We used lab tech to code our robot. We had to put in commands to tell the robot how far to go, and how fast to go, also we added a sensor and we programmed the robot to stop when the sensor senses something and to go when it doesn't sense something.
4. Describe the final output / product in detail: (what are we looking at?)
This robot uses its full battery strength to move the robot, and the sensor is there to tell the robot there is something in its way and it has to stop, and it goes when the thing in its way moves.
5. Describe feedback you received during the project (suggestions, comments, etc). From peers, instructor etc.. How did you use this feedback to correct issues with your project?
We got mostly good feed back and the only suggestion that really helped us was to put on caps at the end of the wheels to make them more stable.
6. What did you learn during the assignment such as tools, skills, design concepts, software, hardware, etc ?
I learned how to build a robot that moves, and I learned how to program a robot to move and stop.
7. If you were to do the project again, what would you do differently and why? Describe one challenge in building and programming the robot.
If I were do redo the project I would not change a thing, because our robot is fast durable, and works every time.
