Partner: Vivian For this assignment, we have three choices to design an escaping robot. We met on Saturday morning and researched the reference books, codes, and online videos together. We thought that even though the ultrasound sensor can detect barriers easily, we still can not control its turning direction. Besides, using a light dependent resistor means we need to turn on a spotlight to guide the robot, which seems not that intelligent for a robot. Therefore, after finally understanding the instructions, we decided to choose the infrared reflective sensor. We also tried to use the ...

I think the reason may be the last user did not classify them in the correct places and some of the materials are missing. Then, decide how many wheels you want to have on the painting machine. We chose the regular four, so we built four motors and wheels. ...
