Day 3 was the turning point of
Advanced Robotics Camp 2004 at
Murray State University. This was our first day of programming the RCX
brick to complete challenging tasks. The words "what"
and "until" took on new meaning. "Distance
Doggy" was the name of the challenge that provided campers
the chance to use the fundamentals of programming. Next, the campers were
required to add a step to their program which allowed their vehicle to back from
one box into another. Changing the challenge gave new meaning to teamwork today.
The robots design needed to incorporate gears, drive chains and height to drive
over obstacles in their path. Campers have gained a new knowledge of cooperation
and taking into account the different variables that we add to the challenges.
The level of engineering today was short of amazing! Great job teams!
