First Projects in Classroom..

For this week, we had accomplished robotics projects based on some themes such as “Tug of War” and “Attacking”

Tug of War


Concept:

Under this theme, we had to build up a robot that could hold and pull the opponent to our side. We had built up a robot named Puller Girl Bot that focus based on the stabilization sector. Our target is to ensure that the robot is stabilize and strong in its design. So that, the parts on its body will not broken when it pull other robot. We put bigger tyres at the back so that it will have power to pull the opponent team.

Problems statement:


When we built up the robot, at first, we found that the robot was not stable to hold and pull the opponent in the competition, so we had decided to rebuilt the structure, and that make us as the last group to finish the project. We had make some modification on the back tyres which we decided to put it at the front. So, when it pulled other robots, the front tyres will not pops up. Other than that, during the competition we realized that one of the most importance part was the weight of the robot. Those robots that have a heavy weight would potentially win if they have software that quite similar. If they have similar software, then the structure of the robots would be reason of winning.

Even our group had lost in that competition, we learn so many things especially on the programming and the factors that can effects the potential of the robots. We also had fun working together as a group and we hope we can improve on the next projects.

Below are some pictures during the activities:

Attacking

Concept:

After the competition, we had been asked to design a robot for attacking. We have to
build up a robot that could be attack or defend according to the situation. The design of robot can influence the effectiveness of that particular robot. In develop this robot, we had give special focus on the area of the robot, the weight and the weapons. It should stable and strong enough to defend itself while attacking other robots.


Problems statement:


When the war begins, we found that we have lots of weaknesses that we have to improve. The first problem that we met on the war was the weight of our robot was a bit light that makes the rest could defeat us. Besides, our weapon was wrongly set up. It should run through the anti-clockwise but we made up with the clockwise running that terribly brings the opponent to push us outside from the arena of war.


Problem Solving:

To solve the problems, we had made some modification on our robots. to increase it's weight, we have adding some more components. besides that, we also make adjustment at it's weapons which rebuilt it again. Then, we had won one of the battle. That was very exciting. Everyone's were shouting at their robots and show their group spirits.

Below are some pictures of our robot...

Try to make some modifications....



Our Prouds..!!

For information, we had won once in this battle and that makes us very happy. hopefully what we gather today can be use in the other day.. See you all next time..Da...~
