Learning Module 1: Arduino
Robert and Jerry decided to make a 2D motorcycle racing game in Unity for this 10 day learning module. They created a course where the player, the motorcycle, would race up an obstacle course doing flips and jumps to progress up the level. The duo had to learn how to alter the physics and make proper hit boxes. They also created different sprites and physics materials for the of tire on dirt.
Robert and Rio had the goal to create a website with different pages to go on to play different games. They wanted to create an aesthetically pleasing website with each of them making a fun game. Robert decided on recreating Pacman while Rio worked on a program that calculated your clicks per second. The pair had learned the programming languages in the past but had to refresh their memory of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and even a little bit of bootstrap.
Learning Module 6: Video Tracked Race Car
Robert and Jackson originally had the goal to modify slot cars to incorporate a deeper level to the racing making it almost like Mario Kart. They had issues modifying the controller at the start and decided to pivot to camera tracking the car. At the end of the learning module they had created a program that could track the position of the car and record stats like; total laps, most recent lap time, fastest lap time, and (fill in the rest).
Learning Module 7: First Robotics Scouting App
Robert and Heidi created a website to record the match data at their robotics events. The user of the website would watch the match and focus on a certain team they are watching. They would enter the amount of points scored or different attributes of their bot. Then the information would get sent and stored to a Firebase, a real time database, and then would be recalled later on a different page that would compile all the data and show averages and totals to compare against teams. Heidi worked more on the front end designing the website and Robert did a majority of server side and compling the data.
