Friday 01/27 my partner and I did our Robotics experiment. At first we ran into some trouble when our robot wouldn’t start up. Once we got it going it appeared to be running backwards  as well as crookedly. After some adjustments we got it moving in a straight line.

We measured the wheel and determined it had a .15m diameter.

As we input different power levels into the program we recorded the following results:

1.

50 power RPM 758/761 NoT. 2.11 Distance .32 Velocity .32 (42 cm)

2.

75 power RPM 1,183/1,887  NoT. 3.3 Dostance .49 Velocity .49 (59 cm)

3.

25 power RPM 325/326 NoT. 90 Distance .14 Velocity .14 (20 cm)

We then calculated the error rate for each power level and the results were as follows:

1. 27.03%

2. 19%

3. 35.3%
