I joined FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITON as part of two subteams in the 50 member robotics team. As part of both the Design Team and Programming Team, I had a heavy software/hardware focus. One of the ways to succeed in the upcoming competition was for the robot to turn a colour wheel to match a pattern given to us. On the wheel, the robot had a combination of four different colours that it had to sense and automatically rotate to the sequence. Another obstacle that I worked on for this team was to determine how the robot would projectile a ball into an eight foot goal. There were many factors to consider such as the angle of the arm, velecity of the ball, and distance from the goal. My role in this project was to install a sensor that would record the distance to the wall from the robot. Given the distance, the robot would angle to the appropriate height to get the ball in the goal.
