History was created today when R.O.B. V2.0® became the first robot in the history of ISKL to be given an A+ in the obstacle course challenge set by the robotics teacher Mr Inskeep. R.O.B V2.0® was the first and only robot to finish the course in one go. Other robots like the big Goliath which was constructed magnificently by Bart and Kenny failed to perform when it mattered despite doing really well in its trial runs. Well, they always say that David always triumphs over Goliath. R.O.B V2.0® beat all the other robots which were still doing their trial practices, to finish the obstacle course in its first try. There will be other robots to complete their obstacle course challenge by next class but this day truly belonged to R.O.B V2.0®.
Some things were learned today. One thing was that the balance of the robot plays a big role in how your robot will perform. The robot which we had created first, was very imbalanced and would always hop like a frog while R.O.B V2.0® is probably the one of the most stable robots in the class due to the usage of treads. This challenge was not an easy one but, with the work divided, it becomes simpler and easier to do.
The next topic we will be doing will be Gears. We will be looking forward to that topic.
