Lab Exercise 1: Robots

Working with the robot’s was a fun and interesting first activity, working hands on within a group allowed us to get to know one another a little bit. For our group, the building was the easy part, it was a little more difficult to get out robot to actually follow the directions we gave it and once we did ours wouldn’t stop.

We were able to successfully program our robot do the first three tasks, drive in a circle first at a 1m radius one revolution, and drive in a circle 1m radius one revolution in the reversed direction. For us though it became a little bit harder at steps four and five, it took us a bit to produce sound but took even longer to come up with a funky trajectory. After some time and assistance we were successful! Overall I enjoyed the robots from building to end, they were a great way to start the class.
