thursday week 4

First thing in class, we talked about planning and how to stay organized on a project. Me and my teammate got together and made a gant chart for what we needed to accomplish on our robot and when, for it to be ready in time. The first thing we did was to mount all the sensors and get some basic reading code done for them. My color sensor reads a value of 11 for red, 365 for green, 650 for blue, and 1024 for no color.
Our next step was to figure out how we wanted to make a grasping device for the robot. After brainstorming ideas for about 30 -45 min, we started a prototype claw design.
The final claw looks like this:


My partner also added some little finger type things to prevent the can from sliding out.
