wedge - 3 views

  •  
    Wedge by Chelsea A wedge is a simple machine shaped like an inclined plane. A wedge is actually like a moving inclined plane. An easy way to see how a wedge works is to think of it as an inclined plane standing on its narrow end.

    i thing that this proves that a big plow in the front may be a good idea
  •  
    Jarid had posted a link as well with the plow as a v shape. this would work if your going for pushing someone off the table

Roomba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 3 views

    • Anthony DiVirgilio
       
      these are some behaviors we could try to program our robots to do
  • generation models have a self-charging homebase they automatically try to find (via its infrared beacons). Charging on the homebase takes about three hours. All second and most third-generation Roombas can be used with the homebase, even if they do not come packaged with it.
  • Four infrared "cliff sensors" on the bottom of the Roomba's bumper prevent it from falling off ledges such as the top steps of stairways. Most second- and third-generation models have internal acoustic-based dirt sensors that allow them to detect particularly dirty spots (zones having excess particulates) and focus on those areas accordingly.

Robot Control - 3 views

  • The most common kind of robot failure is not mechanical or electronic failure but rather failure of the software that controls the robot.

Long-Exposure Shot of a Roomba's Path Shows Beautifully Organized Chaos - 3 views

    • Thomas Corcoran
       
      shows that the roomba isnt as smart as people think it is, but more uses its random feature
  • while cleaning up. It's beautiful and surprising. I always assumed it worked with using some sort of grid, but that clearly isn't the case at all
  •  
    show that the path of the roomba is more random then people think it is

      Great info
  •  
    gears and construction on how to get high speeds
  •  
    This wouldn't work going up hill at 22.5 degress, and how would we get the nxt brick and the rest of the body to move that fast??

How Can I Make a Sumo-bot? - 3 views

  • No sumo-bot is perfect; this means that sumo-bots that I make and that you     make will have "problems" or "weak-spots."

  • 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.
