Line following robot

Week1 Narrative
Tasks: -weigh the arduino, battery pack, and motor shield -arrange arduino, battery pack, and motor shield so that weight is evenly distributed.

Results:

-arduino is 30g

-motor shield is 34g

-battery pack is 17g

Week2 Narrative
Tasks:

-Find the measurements of battery pack, arduino with motor shield

Measurementsː

-Arduino with motor shieldː Length- 3 in. Width- 2 in.

-Battery packː Length- 2 1/2 in. Width- 2 1/4 in.

Next tasks: -Ask professors for which coding programs to use for the arduino

-Hook up electronics and wiring. -

-Look through HCC Lab for extra materials to use. For Example: Find Metal L Bracket in order to hold the sensor.

Week3 Narrative
Tasks:

-Find metal brackets for sensor in the HCC Lab.

-Build robot as many different ways as possible

Observations:

-Found thin scrap metal; use as prototype for the metal bracket

-Robot is stable with the battery pack towards the back,arduino in the middle and sensor underneath in the front.

Week4 Narrative
Tasksː

-sketch drawings of wiring

Next tasksː

-physically connect wiresː

- arduino to sensor

- battery pack to motors
