Color Sorting Robot
Our group did the color-sorting
robot.
The total completion time was approximately 3 hours. The structure
consisted of a conveyor belt that allowed the sorter to move, the main terminal
that had the program, and many different motors and sensors. The program was
fairly long, and it worked like this:
1) The
program starts. The user can scan different color bricks through a color sensor
and load them into the sorter.
2) After
all bricks have been loaded, the sorter moves to a designated area and drop a
certain colored brick in.
3) The
sorter moves back to the starting position, where it bumps against a touch
sensor.
4) When
it bumps against this sensor, the program tells the sorter to move to the
next color. This cycle repeats until all bricks have been sorted.
**NOTE that we are holding down the wire in the back so that is doesn't get caught in any of the gears-we are NOT controlling it that way**
