Robotic Artwork Name____________________________

The goal of this robotics engineering project is to build a human-guided or machine-controlled robot that can create drawings/paintings.

Keeping the goal in mind, start by writing down the requirements that the robot must have in order to accomplish the goal. These are called the design constraints.

1. Record your design requirements on the prepared sheet.a. The robot's structure must be stable and sturdy enough to hold the other components,

like the microcontroller and its battery pack.b. The robot will draw on a “canvas” on the ground or tabletop.c. The robot must be placed over the “canvas”.d. The artwork must have at least 3 colors.e. The robot must have a markers or brushes attached. Choose whether you want the robot

to draw with one marker at a time or more. f. If done remotely, the remote must be built. No VEX controllers allowed.g. It may be programmed to create an “original” artwork.h. It may be designed to copy what you are drawing.

2. Now use your design requirements to guide the design of the robot. Gather your thoughts and draw out your ideas in this lab packet.

You should include the following items in your presentation:

a. A list of the project constraints that guided your building of the robot.b. The rough preliminary sketches of your design possibilities.

Goal: Your machine will receive, rotate and transfer a wood block.

Constraints:

1. Wood block is 1.5 inches square. 3 sides are painted black.2. Machine must be exactly 16 inches from start to finish.3. The block must start on a 2.5 in square platform exactly 2 inches from the table top on the left

side of the machine.4. The block must be removed from the 2.5 inch square, rotated to a different color up and moved

to the next group’s platform on the right.5. Must use at least 2 different sensors, at least one is analog.6. Robots will be connected end-to-end and start automatically.

Have You Lost Your Marbles?

PurposeTeams of students will simulate an industrial sorting process using Fischertechnik-building components.

Problem StatementToday’s consumer pays a steep price (both long and short term) for products made from virgin materials. Most often, these products find their final resting-place in the local landfill. As a post-industrial society, we have a need, as well as a responsibility to view our used products as a resource, to reuse, remanufacture, or recycle these products back into the manufacturing cycle. As recycling centers become a more common sight in our community, we must try to make them as efficient and cost effective as possible. Sorting the various components of trash is a time consuming process. Any effort made at trying to automate this task would increase the cost effectiveness of this operation.

Design StatementYou and your partner(s) are to design an automated separation system that simulates the separation process that is used in an industrial recycling plant. You are required to separate three different colored marbles, clear and opaque, into separate collection bins.

The system your team designs must include the following sub-systems:

∙ Hopper System: A place to dump, not place, the raw material (trash), to begin the process. You can use non-Fischertechnik parts for the hopper.

∙ Transport System: A system to move the marbles from point to point: from the

inspection station to the proper bin for those color marbles.

∙ Sensing System: A system for recognition of part or position of the bin

∙ Bin System: A system to collect and hold the marbles after the system has

determined its classification.

∙ Program: A computer program used to automate the sorting system. You must use subroutines in your program.

DocumentationProject Journal

Your team will be required to maintain a daily journal of the marble sorter design and construction. At the end of the project this will be submitted as part of the project grade. The journal will be made up of the following sections:

∙ Title on every page.

∙ Initial sketches – You will conceptualize your design and prepare a quality sketch of

your system. This will be the concept you develop to completion. Any changes to your sorter will have to be sketched and documented.

∙ Program Narrative – A written step-by-step description of how you want your team’s

marble sorter to operate.

∙ Daily Entries – Every day keep track of your progress. Your entries must be made in the following form.

o Date:

o Tasks Accomplished

o Tasks yet to be addressed

∙ Print out of Program and Sub-routines – A copy of the program, and each subroutine in that program, will be copied to Word. A written description of each part of the program will need to be included.

∙ Application paper – A 1 – 2 page paper explaining how the major concepts studied

through the Fischertechnik activities relate to the theory of operation and construction of your marble sorter.

∙ Additional Comments

Project Constraints:

∙ The raw material (trash) will consist of clear (transparent) and black (opaque) marbles.

∙ Only Fischertechnik components may be used in the construction of your sorter,

except for the hopper, which will be constructed from cardboard. (Type and amount of material per team will be announced.)

∙ Each team will consist of two people one only by permission of instructor.

∙ Periodically throughout the life of the project you will receive progress reports. These are designed to make sure you are addressing all aspects of the problem in a timely manner.

Timeline:

∙ There will be a final due date. But plan on building/improving for extra credit. If you have the time build a continuously running marble sorter I will put it the 500 hall corner display box.

1. Must play the given instrument with some kind of rhythm or tune.

4th quarter Robotics Programming Test.Robot must do the following:

1. Start button (digital #1) starts the bot.2. Motors (ports 1 & 12), which are pointing in opposite direction, must drive the bot forward.3. When the line follower (analog #1)detects an obstacle with a value of ___<400_______ it will

stop the robot.4. The bot will then move backward for 1 second and turn away from the wall.5. The whole process will repeat 3 times.
