Final Phase 2 Robot Design
Posted by CopabX on August 22nd, 2010
The final Phase 2 robot design followed our Phase 1 robot proposal and further develop the robot arm and refine the hopper. Initially, the design was to spear and flip loops into a top hopper on the robot. However, as we started to consider collecting loops placed in any orientation, the robot arm design soon [...]

Phase 2 Robot Design – Claw Robot
Posted by CopabX on August 21st, 2010
In anticipation to collect loops that were placed in any direction, a double claw robot was built. This design was later discarded due to concerns with its efficiency and maneuverability, but the robot was such a massive and impressive creation, its design concept is documented here for the record. The Claw Robot Design was divided [...]
A Midnight Run 8/20/10
Posted by CopabX on August 20th, 2010
Just wrote the robot return code, and went for a midnight robot test run. I have been putting in 10 to 14 hours a day programming this week in LabView, trying to reconstruct our code. Way too trigger happy with the delete button last weekend. Our team’s two other programmers Brian and Stanley are out [...]

There are only the three of us left now to finish up everything. We are making progress, about as fast as our robot runs….somewhere between a snail and [...]

Posted by CopabX on August 17th, 2010
A weekend of non-stop re-programming in LabView after losing all of the NXT-G programs. From being able to get 5 to 7 loops, down to picking up 2 loops, here are some of the robot cam footages of our “progress”.
Two Weeks of Despair
Posted by CopabX on August 15th, 2010
It has been an eventful two weeks with two major setbacks! First we designed and built a masterpiece claw robot complete with EOPD, compass and ultra-sound sensors paired with an IR-transmitter, power function motors and a battery pack. This robot can pick up loops in any placement. Then our team had to make a heart [...]
