1. Bad News Bots E2 Project Design Review 7 - 3/20/2008 Ryan Bove Kara Collins Peter Courtney Kyle O’Reilly Benjamin Rowland

2. Previous Week’s Action Items E2 Touch Sensor Interface touch sensor with micro-processor MATLAB Simulation Complete MATLAB simulation which models the running back motion Wireless Control Construct wireless IR receiver circuit researching best option

3. Pro-E Modeling Continued work on a dimensionally accurate Pro-E Model (prototype field and robot) Order Parts/Materials Ordered wheels, ball-caster, HDPE, motor/wheel interface and IR connector Will wait to order battery Previous Week’s Action Items E2

4. MATLAB Simulation E2 The blue dots represent the defenders The red dot represents the running back (our robot) There can be a variable number of defenders entered by the user Demonstrates autonomous motion through the field of defenders

5. Circuit Diagram E2

6. Current Project Status Sensors / motors in hand Working on dimensionally accurate virtual model Interfacing sensors Designing IR wireless control Showstopper: Interfacing the motors and H- bridges may take longer than planned Concept Drawing

7. CAD Model

8. Continue Sensor and Motor Interfacing –Interface H-bridge with DC motors OR –Interface IR sensor and servo motor (Depending on which connectors come in first) CAD Model –Complete dimensionally accurate model Continue Wireless Control Work –Select most feasible option –Research what needs to be completed Next Week’s Actions Items
