Once again we have encountered with Lego Robot in our previous class, but this class we used our robots for another purpose other than just programming the robot to go forward and backwards. In our previous class we have learned about acceleration, velocity, distance, and displacement; with all of this information we used our Lego robot to demonstrate how these factors apply in real life.

As an engineer I have learned these factors in previous years. Knowing how to apply them and how they are represented in real life. However, it is always a good learning phase to get back to the basics and be refreshed more in these lessons. It is also very helpful to learn the basics with different aspects from each professor; it can clear more of the concepts of these factors.

In last week class, the task was to measure the velocity of the robot by a ruler and compare it with lab view measurements with different power source, but at equal time of 1 second and at finally find the error of the measured and the lab view . My partner and I (Pavel) have completed this task successfully with no problem accrued.

Velocity = distance/time (m/s)

Error = absolute (measured – lab view)/((measured + lab view)/2)*100
