Robotic Maneuvering

What my group had to do to complete this project was to create a device that could move back and forth in a specific area and be able to transport materials along with it. The device must be controlled by a potentiometer.

We did this because we were put into a hypothetical situation of having to transport waste to and from a work site.

The who:

David: Was the one who designed all of our coding for our actual machine
Tom: Helped design and put together the hardware that David coded

Rafe and Henry did all of our drawings and took screenshots of the code.

I took all of our pictures and also helped with putting together the hardware

I believe we all made an equal contribution though it was obvious David had the toughtest job.

Here is a work in progress before we finished our final product above.

The conclusion:

Describe why it is important to have branches in programs.

It is important to have switches in the program so that you can account for different changes in the scenario.

Describe an everyday application of a normally closed switch that has not been given as an example.

A main use for open switches in everyday life is for alarms. The magnets cause theswitches to go off in multiple ways to provide for the greatest security possible.

Describe an everyday application of a normally open switch that has not been given as an example.

A great example of this is a doorbell, when you press the switch, the bell rings.
