D-DAY!

The video title "LOL" should be more than sufficient to explain what happened this dread day. 

DAY 15! LAST DAY BEFORE COMPETITION!


The pressure was on to complete the robot and....

But here's the gist of our program taken from our power-point
and here is the code up until the first room.

Day 14!

TESTS TESTS AND MORE TESTS
MORE TESTING!

Day 13






Day 12 (Wed. Jan 29)




Day 11 (Tues Jan 28)

A video of our robot running through a labyrinth on encoders.
This is a GIF of our line sensor turning on an LED through Arduino.

Day 10 (Thurs Jan. 23)

A completed Arduino shield with a reset button and slots for Motors, Sensors, and Analog
On the flip-side you can see the soldering of the Arduino Shield as well as the conductive tracks.

And finally we added our encoders to our Vex bot!





Day 9 (Wed. Jan 22)

Short video of cookie monster being micro controlled to move back and forth to the rhythm of Mario, after he has had his back piece put back on
Cookie Monster code to make him move both forward and backward
Mario Theme song to make cookie monster dance

Day 8 (Tues. Jan 21)

Day 7

a torn apart micro-controlled cookie monster slowly ticking down. 

This is a micro controller controlling a mini lamp by use of delays

Note: the transistor amplifies the input current, so using a larger resistor will dim the light

Day 6

A push-button LED controlling when the light goes on and off.
My code for LDR controlled LED's.

Day 5

An Arduino Uno being used as a microcontroller.
Arduino creating an LED Flashing Band.
