Hi guys. Today I made a table on where the can might be placed on competition day and I also did a run-through on my progress so far.
So with my table I drew a picture of the spillage area like this.
Here is what happend on my tests.
Spot 1: It was placed in the top left corner of the spillage and successfully pushed it out.
Spot 2: It was placed in the top right corner of the spillage and only just managed to push it out.
Spot 3: It was placed in the top middle of the spillage and pushed the can out.
Spot 4: It was placed on the left but moved up a bit and hit the can smack bang in the middle and pushed it out.
Spot 5: It was placed on the right but moved up a bit and once again it was hit smack bang in the middle and pushed the can out.
Spot 6: It was placed on the left but moved down a bit and the robot only just managed to push the can out.
Spot 7: It was placed on the right but moved down a bit and the robot only just managed to push the can out of the spillage.
Spot 8: It was placed in the middle of the spillage area and the robot hit the can smack bang in the middle and succsefully pushed the can out.
When I finished my can finder testing, I did a video on what my competition code would look like. The video is below.
This is it for today’s blog so i’ll leave you with what I need to do next, the word of the day and the phrase of the day.
My next step: To try make my can finder even better.
Observe: To see, watch, perceive, or notice.
