Robot Competitions Tutorial - Wall Maze Solving Robot 2

I think you have check out previous article.If not please read and get an idea about this tutorial series. Lets talk about the basic hardware parts of this robot.I said that this is my first competition so all the things are did for with try and faults. You can get better idea when i discuss the faults of this project then you can go to next level avoiding the faults. This is the first prototype. We just attached the joints of the chassis with glue gun. It is a major faults. What you want to do is use nuts and bolts to connect the joints. so it will be much strong. Also we used simple plastic gear motors. These are not good because as the time the gear wheels can damage because of plastics. I suggest metal gear motors. Its better because i can be load much good weight and also smooth with low speeds. This is our initial gripper for this robot. It has many faults. Also it connected with glue. For the main weight load point we used two mini servos. Now i suggest a mediu...

Robot Competitions Tutorial - Wall Maze Solving Robot 1

Welcome to the robot competitions tutorial series. In this article i will share the first experience of a robot competition in my life. I started with zero. I learnt basics of arduino and moved to some basic projects tutorials and i tried these. Below you can see below two projects are some examples. When a day walk around the university i found a poster in the notice board. Its about a robot competition. So i excited and searched more about it. Then i got to know its a task based robot competition and task is below you can see. First you have to solve a wall maze then environment be different , judges will give a color before the attempt then robot must have to detect that color of the load and  take to the relevant color path and place the load end of the path. So i had no idea how i started so i met a resource person and he gave me advises. Also he wrote some thing in a paper and gave it to me. that paper showing below. That is a list of items that need for b...

Robot Competitions Tutorial - Intro

This is the first post of Robot competitions tutorial series. I have participated to many robot competitions and i like to share that knowledge with you. First of all lets discuss how to build a team for robot competitions. Most of the competitions, team size contains 5 members per team. To do a great team work , you want different talents to achieve your task. So i will recommend that kind of team members to your group. One or Two members for chassis design.  One or Two members for programming. Additional one member for motivate the team and manage the process. So see you with the next article. Before that, i will show you some basic projects that my team done in the first year of my university life. See you Soon!
