Student Robotics 2019/2020

This week our software team wrote their first line of code in python. Unfortunately we discovered new important problems we didn’t notice. Another point is we didn’t upgrade our model – hopefully we will have done it next week. The manufacture of our robot is starting. If everything works as intended, it will be a modular, … Weiterlesen …

This week we updated our robot by adding a safety switch that shuts down the robot in an emergency. Furthermore we tried to find out if the „hidden compartement“ of our robot is big enough to hold the hardware. In addition, our software team tried to learn the programming language … Weiterlesen …

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 … 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 … Weiterlesen …

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 … Weiterlesen …

Finally the time has come, on 26th October we were able to see Student Robotics 2020. Sadly we couldn’t visit the Kickstart – we watched instead the live stream together. On the following days we shared our impression and our ideas how we can realize this task. In the end … Weiterlesen …
