11 Foot Bot
1. State the assignment (problem/project) in your own words.
The assignments is to build a bot with a program that will stop the bot after going 11 feet straight.
2. What are your input factors? (What do you need to know or do before you can begin?) Include the research you did.
We need to know how to get it to stop. we figured out the radius of the wheel so we can program the bot to go a certain amount of spins equal to 11 feet.
3. Describe the process in detail. Explain the steps you followed in order to complete the project.
First we built a basic bot that could simply go straight. After that we used the formula used to create a program stopping the bot after 11 feet. After that didn't work we decided to use a sensor would be easier.
4. Describe the final output / product in detail: (what are we looking at?)
The bot went the successful 11 feet and stopped as it was suppose to do.
5. Describe feedback you received during the project (suggestions, comments, etc). From peers, instructor ect.. How did you use this feedback to correct issues with your project?
Feedback given was to do the questions as we worked so it would be easier to remember. Another piece of advice was to trial and error until we got a solution.
6. What did you learn during the assignment such as tools, skills, design concepts, software, hardware, etc? ,
I didn't learn much from what i already knew because we did a similar project with the line bot telling it to stop after it got to a metal piece at the end.
7. If you were to do the project again, what would you do differently and why? Provide reasons and examples
If i were to do this project again i wouldn't try the radius of the wheel formula because it ended up failing, something instead of that or the sensor that would be successful that id use would be to time it going 11 feet at a certain speed time it and set the bot run time at whatever we go tin the trial run.

We did not complete the "Gap in the Table" assignment because when we attempted it the table was always being used. After not getting time to do the gap we made the sensor bot to stop at the end of the table. The program was not working properly, or we incorrectly made said program failing the "Stop at the End of the Table" assignment.
