Concepts Of Engineering

Brief:

3D Printer

A 3D printer creates three-dimensional objects by layering materials on top of each other.

Laser Cutter

A laser cutter uses a laser beam to cut, etch, or raster materials into 2D designs.

Final Robot Video

Here is a picture of my robot sides that are digitally fabricated

Here is a picture of my robot sides that are digitally fabricated and I used Onshape and Gloforge for these.

HERE! This is the code that we used to program the robot and make it so it can move and turn light on and off.

The digital fabrication we used for this project was us having to make the sides on On shape and using the 3D printer for our caster wheel that makes our robot move well. Digital fabrication is the process of making physical objects from digital designs using machines controlled by computers. This includes technologies like 3D printing, laser cutting

If and Then Statements

An if statement in code is a way to make decisions based on conditions. It allows a program to choose between different actions depending on whether a certain condition is true or false. A "then" statement is the word used in if statements to separate the condition from the action.

Straight:

During this project I really thought my robot wasn't going to make it but at the end of the day my robot went pretty straight and it had a little drift to the right but I would probably change the size of my robot.

Turing:

During this project my robot wasn't turning very well but when it got to the tracks the turning was pretty good and it turned pretty fast and effective.

How has this project compared to other projects that you have done in your other classes? Be descriptive and insightful.

This project was pretty time consuming to me and after my robot started smoking I had almost given up. This was fun and I loved my robot and the end of the day. This was definitely the hardest project I have done but it was very fun.

What would you change about your robot if you were to do this project again? Be very descriptive. How could you improve it moving forward.

I could for sure change things about my robot and I would change the fact that my robot was a little big because I wanted my robot to move faster like a police car was chasing a criminal.

What is the top skill that you think you know well enough that you could teach others and why?

I think the top skill that I could teach someone is for sure the building part of the robot or just the building in general because I learned a lot from last years project because it involved a lot of building.
