Exercise_04: Sensing
the World
Due Friday, 01/21 (working physical kinetic model + photos posted on
the WWW)
The exercise will be assessed on the following
criteria:
40% Originality
50% Execution
of physical model
10% Timeliness
The point of this exercise is to learn to understand
different means of Sensing the world.
The is the last part of the skill-building exercises with the Basic Stamp.
Part A (Input and Output)
Part C (Servo Control)
Part B (Sensing)
The importance lies in
understanding the most simple and robust way to have your model sense the
outside world.
You are free to use any type of sensor / switch
Things to consider is making your model:
·
Integrate available
mechanical components (Lego gears, pulleys, etc., found objects, and objects
from other mechanical objects.
·
Consider that they
need to work repeatedly over and over again.
(ok three times_)
