Classic Projects

The chapter 14 is a kind of review chapter revealing connections of what we have learnt such as gears(which are going to be learnt soon), a differential drive, bumpers, ultrasonic sensor, light sensor and general assemblies of components for a best suitable form for each cases.

In this chapter, there are a few points that are needed to be reminded. When touch sensors are used, it is better to have a long stick attached to it so as to lengthen the range of the detection of the sensor. It makes sure that the robot is away from damages, detecting objects more precisely. However, there is a disadvantage of using it, which is a possibility for the robot to get stuck in the gap at a wrong place. As a possible solution, it can be replaced with the ultrasonic sensor. 

There can be changes in gear ratio for safety by slowing down and reducing the impact when colliding.
