Pit Stop
Intro to Robotics and Mechatronics
The Project:
Navigate a maze by controlling your Create 3 robot via airtable; your partner will be in another room on zoom
Designing the Robot:
Phone Holder:
We laser cut acrylic to make a stand for the phone. We attached two mini suction cups to the stand to keep the phone in place.
Code:
The Create3 robot from iRobot uses ROS2 programing language. We used VNC Viewer to log into the Raspberry Pi in the create3 and ran the code from there. This code takes values from an airtable and inputs them into the linear and angular velocity values of the Create3. We added try and excepts so when we are deleting and retyping the values in the airtable it wont think it is an invalid input.
