we were given robot parts to build according to the instruction in one class, and we had to make it moving backwards and forwards . In the next class, we continued working on the robot we built to perform certain tasks.  Lecture was given on distance, velocity, and acceleration. One of the most important tasks was to connect the robot to the PC and program it in order for it to perform. We measured the circumference of the wheel, which was 0.1760m, to determine how far it can travel in one complete rotation of the turn.  By programing the robot different numbers of power due a constant time, the results of rotation, number of wheel turns, velocity, and distance will change directly proportionally. The following table illustrates the relationship previously described.

 

Time= 1s

Circumference of the wheel= Pi* wheel diameter = 0.1760m

 

With time being constant at 1 second, velocity and distance are always equal according to the famous formula: velocity= distance/time.

Power	Rotation 1	Rotation 2	# Of wheel turns	Distance	Velocity
75	558	567	1.55	0.2728 m	0.2728 m/s
50	348	353	0.967	0.1701 m	0.1701 m/s
25	145	147	0.4026	0.0709 m	0.0709 m/s

 

 

 

All in all, although it was more of entertaining activity, it was very informative and encouraging in way that connects my preference in doing physical work with physics.Also, we got to know how to program the robot using some programing languages .
