Just a short update: Thinking about the size of the robot is crucial. Some years ago team MAI made the mistake of installing the safety switch a few days before the competition days. As a consequence, we were too big. We had to tamper with our robot at the competition to rebuild that part of … Student Robotics – safety first! weiterlesen

The members of our group are living in several different villages. Thus communication tools are very important for us. This week, we're expanding our social contact from WhatsApp to Discord and Google Drive. Our software team starts by reading the Python environment. We also found the first flaws in our initial design. Either the tokens … Student Robotics – communication tools and simulation progress weiterlesen
Team Munich is currently working on other projects until we will get more information at our kick-off meeting. Next week we are going to get more informations about our project. Then we will begin with our robot by sorting things out and planning the whole thing. (author: Leo)
We work on a small simulation for first considerations on our robot design. Not yet finished.... but take a look:
We finished our work on the 3D model of our bot. Take a look: What do you think of it? Is your robot going to look anything like ours? Please tell us your thoughts! Now it is time to do some simulations. Let's find the flaws in our approach of the problem! 🙂
Throwback thursday! 🙂 Here are some further pictures of the assembling procedure. SAM has a height of 230 mm, a length of 325 mm and its width is 240 mm. Our team built and set up everything themselves (mainly during the summer holidays). When the casing was finished, another teammember drew the MAI logo on … SAM – throwback to the assembling process weiterlesen

Two weeks ago a physics and geology teacher of our school came to visit us and to take a look at our project. He gave us a lot of input which we will now try to put into action in order to further improve SAM. Currently we are still trying to boost some of the … SAM – improving the sensor data weiterlesen
On 26th October, the official rules of “Student Robotics 2020” were released. The game mode is called “Two Colours”. The game challenges us to score points by collecting coloured tokens from on and around a raised platform in the centre of the arena. After collecting them we should place these tokens within our scoring zone, … Gold and Silver…. weiterlesen
