Code Two...(Final)
We put all our code inside one loop which was a light sensor loop. This meant where ever our programme was up to, if the robot found white it would straight away start reversing, because our sensor was at the front, we knew the robot would have to be heading forward for it to sense the line. This was a good technique because we have to keep our robot in the ring at all costs. Knowing that this is how the other robots would react was also to our advantage, as we could now make a white lifter that would make the other robot start reversing think my robot was the outside line.

pic of code hopefully... if i dont fail


ALright this is my pro coding (attempt one). Our code was designed to keep our robot in the ring while the other robot gets pushed out. We achieved this by sensing for the out side of the ring and having all our code inside the loop. THis was good because we could get our code in a straight line kind of format, but we soon found a problem. Our robot was just not sensing the line... so made code two. (next blog)

This is some robot code

This is the start of our code we do not no how to do it but we will learn how that we can make it better we thought better put a wait cus that is a start at least...

The Final Stand!!!

Our robot has been designed and made by the best, Toby and Zac. We remade our robot two days out from the compition to be more suitable for our opponents. Our lifter was designed to not only lift but also confuse there robot into thinking we were the edge so there robot would then reverse itself off the edge. our programme was simple but effective, we made our robot turn in circles untill it found something else in the ring and then charge. It would charge until it found the egde line and the revese a little the start spinning again. The lifter didnt effect the function of the robot it was was programmed just to lift wen the push sensor was pushed.

big news

ok well toby and had a chat and we realised that because our blog is so deitaled that is some one was to actuly read the whole thing they would quickly come to realise that our robot has some big flaws. so ther was only one thng for it RM!!!! RM!!!!! RM!!!!!! so that is what we done we remade our robot so now it is diffrent but we are not going to put pictures up because some one might look at our pictures and see that our robot is pro then be a noob and change there robot to suit.
