Engineering 6806 Demo 1

The first demo will take place in EN3076, Thursday Oct. 11 starting at 2:00 pm. The procedures are as follows:

• All robots are to be delivered to EN3076 for sequestering at 2:00 pm. You will not be able to access your robot while the demo is going on.
• The order of groups will be randomly selected at the demonstration time.
• We will conduct two rounds of demos, if necessary. Each round will proceed as follows:
  • A starting location will be selected on the floor between 5 and 12 feet (1.5 and 3.66 m) from the walls (ahead and to the left).
  • The robot is to be placed on the floor in the vicininty of the starting location (you can choose the precise alignment and orientation).
  • The robot must advance towards the first wall, turn left 90 degrees and advance towards the second wall. (Note that motion towards each wall and a 90 degree left turn are required components of the demonstration.)
  • The robot must then report the measured distance from the starting location to each of the walls.
  • Each team will be given two attempts to to complete the demonstration
  • Each attempt is time limited to 5 minutes.
• We will take the best score (of a possible four attempts), as follows:

  Item	Points
  Moving forward to first wall	3
  Left turn 90 degree and moving to second wall	3
  Reporting distance to first wall (<= 0.25m error)	2
  Reporting distance to second wall (<= 0.25m error)	2
  Touching with a wall	-2
  Maximum/minimum	10/0
