What have we done?

• Nail down the competition rules
• (including almost every possible scenarios
  in the competition)
• Build and modify the Robot
• (we have done three versions robots so far,
  believe me ,we got a very aggressive and
  effective robot )
• Down load and study the use of NXTsharp
• (a little bit tricky to modify this
  software, but finally I make it)
• Test computer controlling of robot
• (we have already tested our robot for a
  couple of times. Still modifying)
• o design a well-organized website to
  introduce the whole project
• (already finished the schema and mainpage
  design)

What we need to do?

• Rebuild the Robot
• (improve the design of our robot version 3)
• Practice controlling Robot by Computer
• (focus on some special scenarios, try our best
  to control the robot as smart as possible)

10
Map explorer

• Purpose
• --build a robot which has good AI and practical
  mechanic design
• --control the robot in a black room and
  draw the map of that room automatically through
  sensor (2D)
• --Show the map on a remote computer screen(
  the software interface)

11
Procedure1

• Hardware design
• --build a stable moving part for the
  robot
• --try to setup a sensor which can fully
  and consistently rotate(360degree) on the robot
  very important for the whole map explorer design)
• --try to solve the cable-binding
  problem between sensor and brick
• --test the whole mechanic design
  whether it is very reasonable

12
Procedure2

• software Design
• --Determine software properties
• --Coding(not a easy job)
• --Up-loading to robot
• --Transmission issues
• --Code functions and methods
• --combine the remote control and explore
  function,
• --use control interface to take over the
  robot and drawing the 2D pix in the interface

13
What we need to do?

• Change the design of robot
• Design the algorithm
• Code
• Test
