In my last post I described a little bit about the robotics activity that we did in the second week of class. Although it was one of my first experience with building robots, i didn’t only have fun but i also learned something useful by just building a little robot. In the second class me and my partner were able to develop our robot successfully with the help of another person that was added to our group. Its unbelieveble how much an extra person can help in a group. Not only the help but just working in a group together.

In the second class we were given our robot and all the cables we needed to connect it to the computer so it can function properly and we were also given a long ruler. The ruler was given to us to  measure how far the robot can go by changing the power and time. We were supposed to combine the different numbers three times and then see how far the robot can go. The first we measured the distance then we

went on to the lab view for power, the last one was the lab view in time. I will be uploading a picture with all the numbers we measured. Last step we had to pass was to calculate the percent of error for power which was 89.2% and lastly we measured the percent of error for time which we calculated to be 67.4%. Also, in the attachment we will find how we calculate both of these.
