Final Robot is Built, Time to program it


after testing my robot with no ultrasonic sensor i realised that it had to have one aswell as having a weapon/ defending machanism, i used a plow like thing so that my robot can attack.

After finishing the building of my robot its time to program it so that I can battle with it and have a slight chance of beating richards stupid robot. my robot now has an ultrasonic sensor and also a wall to push other robots away.

My New Changed Robot

Over the past 3 periods I have stripped my robot and started to build it again. This involved lowering my robots center of gravity to ensure it wasn't toppled easily. Also I had to decide on where my light sensor would be placed to detect the outline of the battle ring. My robot is still not finished yet but i know what i have to do to finish it which is adding a ultrasonic sensor to detect robots .

Creating the base of my robot




Today I created a base for my robot. This was just me practicing how to build and program them.


I created my robot by following the instructions in the book that comes with the Lego Mindstorm Kit. I then altered it a bit by adding two sensors and played around with the programming of it.


My robot is too top heavy so i will need to alter it a bit.




The Battle Field

This is the ring that we will be battling in it is about 1metre x 1 metre. hopefully i will be able to win in this ring.
