Bot Bench I'd Rather Be Building Robots
BobBot Mk2 has learned a new trick: finding a can. Finding cans makes BobBot very happy; he even chirps when he sees one and gets very loud when it’s about 10 cms away from one.
A lot of work still needs to be done:
- Approach towards can needs to be PID controlled for smooth steering instead of the waggle it does now;
- EOPD and US sensor will be replaced by simple touch sensors;
- Can needs to have a destination of some sort, why else would BobBot pick it up, right?
- Some of the behaviours need to be re-ordered for better prioritization.
Stay tuned for more adventures of BobBot Mk2!
Actually, you might want to keep some information on that wiggle, it is kind of cute, and even if that is not what you intended, someone else could be trying to get their robots to wiggle. (Whenever I try this, the rubber tires just jump around a little as the pressure is quickly built and released. Ah, physics, a more severe form of this is an Earth quake, but I don’t think my little LEGO robots have enough power to replicate that.)

Very nice!!
PID is a good choice to smooth the movement. Good luck!
