Our Robot

Inventor's Kit Robot

Here is the robot we made from the inventors kit. The inventors kit is used to help us learn how to build and program our robot. We programmed it to move and when the ultrasonic sensor senses something it might run into, it will back up and turn away from it.

The Red Box Robot

Here is our red box robot. We are using this robot to help us learn how to program our tank robot, and to help give us a sense of what we want our tank robot to look like. We have programmed it to use its touch sensor, so when ever it touches something, it will back up and turn away from the object. We have also programmed the robot to follow a black line. When the robot senses the white table, the robot will turn until the sensor senses the black line. After we figured out how to use both the line and the touch sensors, we were able to combine them so that the robot follows the line, and when it hits something, it will turn around and continue following the line.

Vehicle Chassis Robot

Here is our Vehicle Chassis robot. These robots have a simple design, and they only move forwards and backwards. We have to make two of these robots to combine together to make one robot, and then add sensors to it.

Our Tank Robot

Here is a picture of our tank robot without any of the sensors. What we did was we glued sturdy foam planks to the vehicle chassis robots to create a platform to attach the red board (the brain that keeps the programming), the breadboard, and the sensors.

Here is a photo of our finished tank robot with all of the sensors and wires attached

Here is the track that we used to test our robot. The black line is the track that we used to test the line sensors. The robot is going to follow the line and go back and forth on the track. The boxes will be used to test the ultrasonic and touch sensors. We will do that by placing the boxes in different spots for the sensors to sens

Here are videos of our tank robot working. The first one is a video of the robot using the lines sensor. The second video is of the robot using all of the sensors.
