The Goals of Our Experiment

• To play classical music between two robots
• To catapult an object
• To pick up an object
• To sense an object
• To return the object to its starting point

3
First Part The Catapult

• Purpose To throw a ball into hoop
• Includes 1 RCX, 2 touch sensors and 1 motor
• Also plays Fur Elise and Beethovens 5th.

4
Second Part The Hoop Ramp

• Purpose to catch ball, finish Beethoven, direct
  ball onto ramp and deliver it to the 3rd Part, a
  transporter
• Includes 1 light sensor, 1 RCX and Duct tape

5
Third Part The Transporter

• Purpose to return the ball to its starting point
• Includes 1 RCX, 3 motors, 1 light sensor, 1
  lifting arm

6
Difficulties

• Catapult programmed to deactivate when arm
  triggers touch sensor, which did not always
  occur. Positioning was a problem. SELF
  DESTRUCTION OFTEN OCCURRED
• Hoop direction and sensing of the ball
• Transporter programming, alignment, movement and
  mechanics of the arm all made the transporter the
  hardest part of this project
