Thank you to RoboCup Junior Victoria who has provided an excellent introduction to programming Spike to compete in Rescue. This presentation includes:
code forĀ a single sensor
code for double sensors
proportional line following (smoother)
advice on rescuing the victim, navigating around the obstacle and making green turns.
Thank you to Colin Becker, Rescue co-coordinator from RoboCup South Australia, who has share these very helpful tutorials on using Spike Prime Rescue on YouTube.
3. We investigate why Spike won't go over humps or up the see-saw, and attempt to solve the problem without changing our code.
We do a quick comparison between building a rescue robot using EV3 and using Spike. Then we compare the different levels of reflected light when we raise the light sensors from 1 beam off the ground to 2 and then 3 beams.
4. In this video we look at how to get around the water tower using nice 90 degree turns.
2. We look at how to code Spike to follow a line, we change the height of the sensors to see what impact it has and we look at how fast we can get Spike to successfully follow the harder curves.
5. We look at what Spike does after it goes around the water tower, if we don't add any more code. Will Spike keep following the line? Can Spike go around a second water tower?
