Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

Rampant Robots

We let the students give their robots names. As well as “Pet Art” above we have two Daves and one Eric.

We had a proper session of robot control today. We were making robots that don’t fall off the desk. We had a few miss-wired connections and people discovered that two motors told to go at full speed don’t actually go at the same speed. So the program can’t just assume that things will happen the way they should….

Next week we are going to see about making the control software multi-threaded so that we can drive the motors and monitor the sensors at the same time. Great fun.
