24th Nov 2012 - The sixth meeting was experimenting with advanced motor control, managing to rotate a pre-determined amount. And the question now is: How to build appropriate functions allowing a deep robot control.
The first video of the Robot in action.
We have established how much the robot moves on 1 wheel revolution. We have also established how many revolutions are needed to turn the sonar in 45 degree steps.
In order to help solve the lack of friction on the wheels on some circumstances, due to the bad weight distribution, we augmented the support pin on the front. Now it's higher and so there's a bit more of weight on the wheels and so there's less wheel sliding.
We also created a simple functions to execute the most common movements such as "turnLeft, turnRight" which rotates the robot 90 degrees to left or to right. We think this functions are very important because they provides us a abstract way to control the robot.
