The 4th Line Follower
 |
| Meet Noodle 212, my 4th Line Follower. |
This time, I come back with another usual post. It is another line follower agaiiinnn
Hmm, do I have interest making line followers, receiving orders from some random people and then taking benefit from them?
Nah, you went totally wrong. I made this because I was applying for R2C.
WTH is R2C? It's the acronym of Robotic Research Center. R2C is a team filled with Electro students that bring my University name towards many competitions (and brought victory to some of them). To make it simple, this R2C team makes robots for competitions.
So... How come I, the complex-life-hater wanna join this team?
Well, I tell ya, I want to make this as an opportunity for my script. Yeah, basically I am still in my simple way, I wanna do everything as simple as possible and I thought making robot as a script will be simple (let's hope so). Even if it's complicated, at least I won't throw away a lot of money because the robot is owned by faculty. Ha...ha.
Speaking for the Line follower... I made it with my friend, Rudy. 90% percents of the robot was I who make it, and the rest was Rudy. Why? Because Rudy was going to another town for interpreneurship. It was okay for me as individual person anyway :p
Then... What are the differences from this Line Follower with my last Line followers? This time, it's already wearing ATMega, or should I say; Microcontroller. Yeah, it's a lot smarter. (Even though the programmer is not really smart, duh!)
What is that Playstation controller for? This Line Follower has 2 modes. The first mode is named manual mode, and the second is automatic mode. In manual mode, you can control the Line Follower using the Playstation controller, just like controlling a Remote-Control-Car. The automatic mode is for following the black line on the floor automatically, just like the normal Line Follower.
So... What is that piece of shit on the front of it? It's a pathetic scissors for ball. The main rule is, we have to bring a ball from start to finish using manual mode (With obstacles of course, so we controlling it), then after that we must follow the line using automatic mode. Simple isn't it?
The result? Well, it's not really amusing for me. It was 3-times trial and I messed the trial 2 times. Thanks God the first trial was a success :D
The video is below, I was recording it while it was still in beta-release. So if you look closely to the video, then you'll notice that it's a bit different than now.
