Bot 4

-
Advantages:
  • Clearance / space underneath the bot makes it easy to go over obstacles.
  • 2 Medium motor that allows 2 separate attachments to work independently.
  • There are 4 places to attach attachments. 
  • Motors are in the right direction, so when rotating the motor forward, the robot moves forward.

Disadvantages
  • Color sensors are behind the driver wheels, so it is hard to follow a line with slight turns.
  • Back wheels scrape when turning.
  • Battery recharge port is not accessible.
  • Sensor Ports are not accessible, like when we want to unplug wire when Gyro sensor is drifting.
  • PC port is not accessible, so only way to connect brick to computer is via bluetooth and wifi.

Activites-Mr.Fadnavis

Over the course of our meetings, we have done multiple team building activities that have taught us the importance of working together as a team. The first activity was Astronaut and mission control.  This mission was a reenactment of the Apolo 13 carbon dioxide filter problem.  What we had to do was split ourselves into two teams, one team was the astronauts, while the other was mission control.  the"astronauts" had to go in a separate room and mission control built a Co2 filter and described it to the Astronauts using words.  This taught me the importance of communication and patience.  The core values we used were fun, innovation and inclusion. The second Activity we did was to pick an item out of a box and with our teammates, make an"ad" and try to persuade the coaches to buy this item.  the core values we used were fun, inclusion and innovation. The Third activity was to rank 15 Items we would most need if we had to...

Advantages: All Sensors ports are accessible, so that we can reset Gyro by unplugging cable. PC connection port is easily be reached. Battery Recharge port can be used easily. Disconnecting brick is easy, if we need to replace batteries or when brick is frozen. Color sensors are in front of the motor, so line following is easy with any angle. Uses few parts. It uses caster wheels , so it can turn in any direction without scraping the wheels.  Disadvantages: Caster wheels stop it from climbing over obstacles . There is only 1 motor connected to all the gears , so if there is  more than 1 attachment on the robot at a time , they will run simultaneously. There is not much clearance underneath the chassis.

Hi! Agent Unicorn here, telling the world how we used core values in one of our group activities. The activity was that we had to do was rank a list of items that we needed to survive in space. We used all 6 of the core values. The first core value is Discovery-we used this core value by learning the vital items required in space. Next, is innovation and impact. We thought of creative ways to use the items provided and how it might affect the answers. We worked together as a team, and we had FUN!!!!!!!!
