GE110 -- Project Part I
Fall 2003
Part II
Part two of this project is located
here.
Overview
This page outlines the first two weeks of a four week project. In this
lab you will design, build, and program a robot that can traverse
a maze. You will work in teams of four.
Prelaboratory Activity
None.
Procedures
- Each team must design, build and program a Mindstorm robot that
can traverse a maze similar to the one shown below.
- Your robot must accommodate the following conditions:
- The maze will consist of black electrical tape on a light surface.
- You may use any part from the two Mindstorm kits that you have
at your disposal.
- Your robot should be a left wall follower. That is, it should
follow the wall to its left as shown below:
- The robot should stop and do something interesting when it hits
the physical wall at the end of the maze.
- Note: When designing your solution to this assignment, keep in mind that
in the second part of this project you will need to count line crossings
and communicate with the second brick over the internet You should be
careful that your solution for this part of the assignment doesn't use
parts that will need to be dedicated to the solution to part II of this
project.
- Your grade will be based on performance (time required to successfully
navigate the maze) and, design, and creativity.
Deliverables (due prior to week 9 lab)
You must demonstrate that your robot can successfully navigate the
maze provided by your instructor.
