7. Mission
To create a robot that can:
• Pass over a slope
• Retrieve at least three rockets
• Proceed through a dark tunnel
• Eventually drop the objects in red box
Success: Aforementioned tasks done without
human touch

8. The Program

9. The Programming Process
First Mission:
Sound activation and
safely proceeding
over a slope
Solution:
• sound sensor
• a combination of line
tracking and forward
movement

10. The Programming Process
Second Mission:
Guiding the robot to
the storage to
retrieve at least
three rockets
Solution:
• line tracking and
straight motion
• lift and clamp
mechanism

11. The Programming Process
Final Mission:
To drop the rockets in
their designated red box
after passing through a
tunnel
Solution:
• reverse motion
• change of direction
utilizing the right motor
• line tracking and
descending the arms

12. Robot’s Design
• original taskbot
design except the
NXT is placed flat
• goal post
contraption for
rocket security
• Utilizes only light
and sound sensors
• Three motors

13. Pros and Cons of Our Solution
Pros
• The robot has the ability
to gather and drop off 4
rockets.
• Calibrates efficiently to
the white line
• Only requires two
sensors
• Extra safety measures in
the program
Limitations
• line tracks to the
left of the white line
which sometimes
causes unexpected
motions
• Lack of prior
programming
knowledge

14. Improvements
• Split up tasks more efficiently and equally
among all team members
• Watch informational videos on how to
program the robot beforehand
