Object Recorder

-2007

-Measures the size, shape, and color of an object.

-Language: Lego NXT Visual Programming Language (VPL)

-Uses Lego NXT (1 motor, 1 ultrasonic sensor, 1 light sensor)

        This is my first robot with the NXT. It measures aspects about four points on an object. Here's how it works:

1) Records values from Ultrasonic and light sensors.

2) Rotates object 45 degrees.

3) Repeat 1 & 2 four times.

        The data is saved to a text file on the NXT that looks like this (This is the data from the object in the video.):

Rotation - 311
Ultrasonic - 8
Light - 24
Rotation - 290
Ultrasonic - 23
Light - 39
Rotation - 290
Ultrasonic - 8
Light - 30
Rotation - 292
Ultrasonic - 6
Light - 28

No progress feed available. Video coming soon.
