On March 4th, after using one mulligan and one checkoff attempt, our bot succeeded in beating the brick in two consecutive attempts and Gordon's mission in this world was complete.
Project Outcome
Project Outcome
The final bot successfully achieved its intended functions, utilising a combination of sensors and control strategies:
IR Phototransistor for Pot Location – This sensor accurately detected the pot’s position, ensuring precise ball release.
Tape Sensing for Straight-Line Motion – A tape-following system was implemented to guide the bot along a predefined path.
Ultrasonic Sensors for Spatial Positioning – The bot effectively used ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles and navigate its environment.
Our core design principle revolved around real-time feedback for control, allowing the bot to adjust its motion dynamically based on sensor inputs. This approach improved accuracy and responsiveness during operation. Additionally, we successfully incorporated most of the concepts taught in class, applying theoretical knowledge to practical problem-solving in robotics.

After weeks of preparation and training, Bordon Botsy finally geared up for the big day. During testing we hit a few roadblocks with the line sensing code and ultrasonic sensing code which caused our bot to turn too early without entering the POT. The opponent robot had managed to reach the pot with a few balls and scored more points - leaving Gordon defeated. Oh well, at least he tried!
