    i agree a lot with declan, by how everyone is looking most people are going to be using ramps so im gonna try and find something better

  • Compound Gearing You can decrease the speed of your robot and increase the amount of force it can produce by using gears. There is a video on Compound Gears in the gallery. Link- Video on Compound Gears.

    if you think about it maybe you dont even put the brick on top, i mean im not saying that you cant but you could put it behind

    anyrobot we do is basically going to be folllowing the wall though and it would have to go all the way to the end to start going back to the beginning

    i would have to agree because if the robot stay to one side and veers off it only has to go one way to get back so it wouldnt be lost

    or right

Line Follower - LabVIEW for Lego MINDSTORMS Projects - 3 views

  • 3. In case the lighting in the room changes, could you program your line follower to re-calibrate the light sensor when you push a button?

      could b useful later on to look into

    Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach In this activity, we will learn how to create a robot that follows a line on the ground. It will use one light sensor to sense where the line is, and use this to control the motors to steer the car and stay on the line.

    Line Following
    In Chapter 3, we talked about going straight and having a well-tuned robot. I mentioned using the field
    environment for help in traveling a straight line, such as running along the wall of the field with wall
    followers. Well, another great way to navigate along the field is to follow any lines that may be present on
    the field map. For example, the FLL 2009 Smart Move field was a line follower's dream. There were nice
    thick black lines that could guide a robot to most of the important places on the field. In fact, those lines
    were placed specifically to encourage teams to incorporate line following, or at least line detection, in
    their robot's logic.
    I believe a lot of teams recognize that line following is useful but struggle with how to build and
    develop a good line-following robot. The code doesn't have to be scary. Yes, you can have some very
    complicated line-following logic and use lots of fancy algorithms to keep your robot traveling smoothly,
    but there are simple solutions as well. I will try to explain some of the different techniques available.
    Remember, though, that these are just examples. I encourage your team to use these as a starting point
    and build on them; see how much better you can make them.

Logging Front Panel Data - NI LabVIEW 8.6 Help - 6 views

  •  
    Use front panel datalogging to record data for use in other VIs and in reports. For example, you can log data from a graph and use that data in another graph in a separate VI. Each time a VI runs, front panel datalogging saves the front panel data to a separate datalog file, which is in the format of delimited text.
