Materials brought to class:
- wire strippers
- plastic cups
- cardboard box
- chopsticks
- iPad box
- stylist
- scissors
Main goal for today: build NXT robot that will start and end our machine. Also, we want to start building one other component of the machine (plinko board).
Component Ideas:
- robot moves forward starting the machine by having touch sensor pushed by some kind of ball. The robot will stop due to an obstacle
- during robot movement, it will hit a lever/marble on a suspended track, triggering the next event
- plinko, ball rolls and hits a lever that starts next event
- the lever in previous step will have a stylist attached to it, when dropped, it will call another phone, causing it to vibrate triggering the next event
- one more event here
- robot ends machine by advancing past the obstacle that was blocking it and hitting the next groups power surge
More materials were thought of (see next weeks post). The NXT robot was made and programmed to start when the touch sensor was triggered, and programmed to stop when an obstacle gets in its way, and begin again when the obstacle moves.
