Robot Art Show

Our Goal: 

This project was intended to teach us about circuits, electricity, and programming. We started with first running electromagnet experiments. Then we did some experiments with Arduino boards. Then we started the robot art show project, with the skills from our previous experiments we had to make our own Arduino experiment. The project that we did was a toll booth. We used 4 components, a distance sensor to detect the vehicle, a servo for the gate, a buzzer that played when the gate open, as well as a light the turn green when it opened and red when it was close.  

Content:

Coulombs Law

F= kq1q2/r^2. The force between static electric charges.

Ohms Law:

V=ir

Programming:

 The language that a computer processes to make hardware function.

Electromagnet:

 the electrical and magnetic forces or effects produced by an electric current.

 Current:

The amount of flow in a circuit

Voltage:

The potential energy difference in a circuit.

Circuit:

  A full loop of conductive material from negative to the positive side of a battery. 

Reflection:

Overall I think I did extremely well on this project, for example I was also working and even on the last couple of days we were thinking if there was anything else we could add to make our project stand out. Another thing I did well was my communication because me and my partner were always on the same page and very dedicated to completing our project. But there was one thing I could of done better, which was making the distance sensor work, we were all ready decently through the project when we realized the sensor could simple not work the way we hoped, but we got over the obstacle with some precise timing. Ultimately I think this project was extremely fun, and a success.
