R484@RABA

Remember that I've been telling you guys that I'm busy with my projects.... well, one of them was finally over last Thursday when we 'succesfully' demo on stage during Engineering Week.


This project is a simple project where we build robot by using LEGO Mindstorms Education set. Yeah, I know..LEGO... macam budak budak... that's why ada rasa malu sikit during demo coz it's just a simple robot made from LEGO set. Quite a lot of people watching ba...demo openly ba itu...


The project itself lasted 3 weeks, with the hardest part is to calibrate the light intensity sensor. For our robot, light intensity sensor is used to detect track borders as well as identifying red balls.


Basically our robot, R484, is built based on a real life example, a space rover. It runs and move randomly within an area in search of set point objects. Once the robot gathers the object, it will return to base. Thus, our robot searches for red balls instead of blue balls, and it will return to base after that.



Our main problem was the light intensity sensor. It is very hard to calibrate since the sensor only identify an object as white or black. So, it's either darker or lighter....But in the end, ok la....hopefully get enough marks la...byah!
