Programming Day 1

Programming

Aloha, my name is Taye Mowat. My fellow teammate Kaitlin DeRouin and I have worked very hard on one of our robot missions to capture Lego animals, people, and safety equipment. This mission is to get the animals, people, and safety equipment to the red safety zone safely. Our main focus on October 9, 2013 was to capture the two animals (the dog then cat) then knock the coconut leaf off of the tree without interfering with the electric line.

It took us about one to two hours to finally capture the cat and dog, but we finished before practice was over. Now we just need to think of a way to knock off the coconut leaf, get the people and safety equipment, and bring them all to base. After we figure out how to accomplish this, we will need to find a way to put all the objects into a box like attachment, drive it to the red safety zone, and return to base. To complete this mission we are using two stick like pieces called an axle. Holding the two stick like pieces together is a smaller connector piece. At the tip of the axle is another tiny piece that sticks out and supports the objects from falling. That is our progress on this mission! Wish us good luck...we may need it!
