U1 Build Reveal

You will submit (below) a link to a YouTube video of your robot "in action."   Your video can include your creative flair, but must include some narration by you.

In your demo, your robot must clearly:

  • Be able to move in a two-dimensional plane. 
  • Movement must be greater than 10 linear feet and include multiple turns.
  • Operate in a safe fashion – you can easily stop it.

Grading:

  • For a basic grade, in the C or B range, you have direct control over your robot and you can demonstrate it running for about 15 seconds.
  • For a higher grade, in the B or A range, your robot is controlled via an autonomous program (approximately 10 seconds for a B, 15 seconds, or longer for an A).  You program involves forward and backward movement and a number of turns.  Having your bot complete a figure eight movement is an example of what can be done.
