Team Members Everyone works on hardware Rolly Guerrero 396 Web Designer, Circuit Specialist Landon Barayuga 396 Computer Programmer Charles Alombro 396 Chassis Architect Jayson Pangilinan 296 Circuit Etcher, Project tracker

Project Overview Build an autonomous robot with a specified budget Layout Parts Component Design Construction Movement Sensors Programming Tracking Mapping

Layout Parts needed Sensors Motors Rabbit Microprocessor PCB board Power Supply Wheels Component Design Documentation

Construction Movement Forward drive only Turning 90 ˚ and 180˚ turns Forward and reverse wheel movement for turns Stepper Motors Sensors Top-down sensors Located on front and sides

Programming Tracking/Navigation Interpreting sensor signals Detecting intersections and dead ends (and maneuvering accordingly) Staying centered in each hallway Mapping Keeping track of path taken Determining location of center Finding fastest route to center

Potential Problems Rabbit Microprocessor Malfunctions Wrong ports being used Incorrect voltage input Etching Amateur etching skills Time conflict Lab time conflicts Team meeting conflicts Troubleshooting circuits Soldering imperfections Incorrect placement of circuits

Potential Problems Parts/Fabrication Unfamiliar working with certain components (ex: microprocessor, etc) Heat management Designing a working circuit Access to the lab and coordinating work sessions Getting and paying for the parts needed Programming Limited programming experience Designing and coordinating separate functions into one working program Defining correct/workable parameters Debugging

Learning Experience Etching Learn as we go Programming Increase circuit analysis skills Teamwork Communication Creating a working robot

Goals and Timeline Gantt Chart
