On a fine Tuesday morning in 21/8/18, we started our Robotics assessment task.
Taking roughly 15 minutes to get Max engaged and his mind off Juanita, we started developing our code to create a performing robot that excels at the completion of the desired task.
During the development of the square, we encountered some issues in the measurements with the robot not completing the turns to the desired degree. What started as 180 degrees quickly changed into 450 degrees. This then changed into 480 degrees, then 500, then 540, 570 and finally 580. We then figured out the turning radius, we then found success in the square.
In light of this success, we then designed, through thorough research, some radii for a circular movement. This failed with one motor being left on when this was not required. We the turned the motor off. We then tried with some revised designs, but this also failed. Josh then referred the job to max and myself. Josh then resumed coding, but it still failed. We then resolved that Josh would modify the code. This failed. We then tried again. This failed too. We then tried again with revised modified measurements. This also failed. We then tried again, with different measurements, but this failed. We then tried again. This failed. We then tried a few more times. These all failed. We then tried again. This failed. We tried again. This failed. We tried another few times. This failed. Another accurate failure. Another try, another failure. Then, another failure. The, after roughly 20 failures, the robot successfully completed a circle. This was successful.
Now Max's attention turned to rebuilding the structure of the robot.
