Theme : Tug of War
Robot Name: Bumble Bee
It seem simple, unattractive but u won't believe its potential..ahaha..Lets read the story behind it.
This week class session, we are required to produce a robotic based on theme ‘Tug of War'. As considering the theme, we are deciding to build robot based on stability and capability to defend while are being attacking by the opponents.
We had design our robot by using 3 motors, and shape it as a cube to make it more stable. Compare to other team, our robot design is totally different from them. So, we had been laughing by others because our ‘weird' design. They also humiliate our robot. How sad... ~_~
Even though, we are proud with ourselves and we believe that we will prove something for them. As looking for other team, their designs were quite similar to another because their designs are like a mantis and they are using claws to defend themselves and to attack their opponents. They also built their robot as high as possible without considering the stability. So, as they meet their opponent they will collapse and suffering damage. As the result, at the end of every ‘war', they need to repair their robot to meet other opponent. Luckily, we didn't face serious damage and never collapsed in our battle war. So, we win in most of the war..
So, don't judge the book by its cover ...^_^..huhu..lalala... see the video for this week robotic learning session.
At the end of this session, we were realized that to build robot for a theme 'Tug of War' we need to consider a few aspects as:
- appropriate weight is needed to pull the opponent
- low centre gravity will make more stable
- good programming can bring success to robot movement
