''Your class negotiated 5 or 6 projects to do the rest of the semester. Please rank, in order of preference, your highest through lowest project names.''

1. Build an arduino based robot with multiple behaviors. See for example, Building a Simple Arduino Robot
FlexVolt - An EMG Sensor For Physical Therapy and Biohacking ====

Printer Project

 * [HCC Group 4]

Project 1 Week 1 Narrative
Each group member had a different project that we wanted to do, so we had a vote and decided on the Robot. We spent the first week viewing tutorial and reading the message boards on Arduino.com.

Group Project 1

Project 1 Week 2 Narrative
We spent time collecting the motors from the disassembled printer and finding different pieces that would fit the bot. We found a body that had 4 wheels already, which eliminated the task of finding 3 or 4 wheels and making/finding a body.

Project 1 Week 3 Narrative
Focused more on programming the robot. The Arduino site message boards has a lot of information about changing the programs depending on the motors that are used and what the goal is for the project. There are many codes in the library on Arduino.com to assist in adding simple features or more advanced features to the robot.

Project 1 Week 4 Narrative
The robot was stolen. We had to start from scratch with a new arduino, finding new parts, and coming up with a new idea.

Project 1 Week 5 Narrative
Spent the last week/weekend finding parts for the new robot. The programming was simple and we only worked on that after we could find everything to build the bot.

Project 1 Week 6 Narrative
The robot uses the sensor to detect how far away an object is and then makes a 180 degree turn and continues forward until it pings the next object and turns again. In the program, right wheel turns and the left wheel releases. The robot turns goes backwards much faster than it does forward - that has a lot to do with the motors being pretty weak. The programming is done, the robot is built, and it moves.

Project 2 Week 1 Narrative
Research on bridges
