Ramp it up
for my ramp it up project we decided to build a robot that would climb the board from both sides by having the wheels straight on the motors. we did not use the gears to get more torque because the structure was not strong enough and would constantly break when we used them. so we decided to put them straight on to the wheels because it was more simple and it was easier to add support to the robot so it wouldn't break on the way up.
1. the assignment was to create a robot the could climb completely vertical.
2. there really wasn't an impute factor on this, we more or less just jumped into the project
3.there wasn't much of a process either because all we had to do was adjust it and move the motore in about 1/2 an ince, wisch was 3-4 of the holes.
4..the final product is a robot that climbs at any angle by gripping both sides of the board with wheels and has a brace on the back to keep it on, and the wheels that are used as grips are used to climb and they turn so it propels upward
5. we didn't have much to correct because we were one of the first groups to finish and we had our own idea
6. i personally learned how to make our robot more stable and stronger, we also learned how to make it fast with less power and slower with more power.
7. i wouldn't do anything differently because it worked perfectly the first time.

Level 1 assignments
this week i read about a robotic muscle that could lift 80 times its own weight. this will help in research and development because it can take the place of human muscle the has been lost. i am really interested in this because i have an uncle that lost his leg in Iraq and he doesn't have control over the prosthetic leg he has now.
before this was made more artificial muscles could only lift 1/2 their weigh. some reaching 3 times that. an average human being can lift its own weight, but some can lift up to 3 times that.

this time i read about a robot that can sense concussions. in the article i read, it was being tested at football games. this can help by diagnosing a concussion faster and keeping players healthy and in better condition, and also prevent future injury.
the robot works by a neurologist being able to control a special "camera" so that they can "see" the brain damage. i have had possible concussions before and i would've liked to have known if i actually had one or not before i continued to participate in my soccer game. the robot will not provide care, but it will tell you if you have a concussion or not.

scientists are creating a snake like robot for mars exploration. In the past vehicles with 4 and 6 wheels have been used, but get stuck easily.
This new idea would be better because it would not get stuck as easily and it would be better for Mars exploration in my opinion.
This robot would move like a snake, and would be able to go into caves, holes, and other places the other robots couldn't get into. It would collect samples from places the robots haven't been before, and will help us learn more about mars and if it can sustain life. So scientist believe this idea of a snake would be the best option.
I read about a robot that could see, think, touch, and hear. This can effect my life because what if these robots start to replace humans in the work force. Im not saying like a robot invasion. But like what if they take out spots on earth.
These robot can function on their own, and are also starting to act like humans also. Thinking can be a problem because they can think on their own and possible hurt people. Along with damaging society.
Today I read about a robot that could fly. It had an elastic cage around in so that it could bounce and crash into things without it's breaking, and it stayed on course. This robot was remotely controlled and tested in a forest in Sweden, they said that it bounced and ricocheted off of the tree trunks and stayed on course with no problem. It's strange movement was inspired by insects and how they fly.
This really doesn't effect us however. I mainly did if because it looked interesting and I thought it'd be a cool thing to do. I mean, it could be a mode of transportation one day, but I don't believe it will because of all the crashing it does and I don't believe it would be a very fun ride.
This time I read about a walking robot. The scientist were trying to find a way to make it walk more naturally. The looked at people like Miley Cyrus and Elvis Presley dancing and noticed the way there hips rotated and there knees bent and stretched when they moved. So they made the robot so it could twist and stretch just like humans do when the walk. It now closely mimics how humans walk, and can walk with ease.
This can effect us in a few ways. One of the ways is that it help us learn more about us, and how we talk and walk. They will also possibly help us with building extremely human like robots and how it will help up
This week read about a robot that could mimic things in nature. This robot caught my attention because it was able to mimic nature and provide a helpful advantage to society. If the robot mimics a squirrel, then it creates false signals. Meaning, that the squirrel goes to different spots and makes it look like there is food there. This is advantageous to the military because these robots could guard weapons on the battlefield, while others deceive the enemy by making it look like there is weaponry being guarded. If, the robots have sensors such as a camera or motion or sound sensor, then the robot could alert our troops and give a location for the enemy.
This weeks bot caught my attention because of it's application to our society. This carefully programmed car is able to manuever itself through many situations that would occur when a human is driving in todays world. While I might have worried that the robot could malfunction, I have to say the joystick that allows a human to take control provides even more safety and assurance that an accident may be avoided. Although, this car seems to work alone, there is still questions regarding whether or not it would work with other bots like this. Eventually (if it even comes to pass), if most people have self-driving cars, I believe that there would be a significant amount less of accidents and therefore less casualties and injuries.
This week I did a robotic goalie. This robot is very fascinating and beneficial to the the practicing of soccer. This robot is able to stop a "Messi" penalty kick, going approximately 80 miles per hour or more. This robot is simply composed of a unflappable carboard and blocks virtually every shot. This robot goalkeeper measures the velocity and spin of the soccer ball approaching it and when the shooter thinks that they'll make the shot, the goalkeeper snaps to position and blocks the shot. At least until the shooter finds a vulnerable spot around the robots area that it covers. This robot is beneficial to the sports world, more specifically soccer. It can create better players with more tactical skill and possibly faster reactions. It will challenge the professional players more so than any of their peers and helps for them to develop into a more skilled player.
