RobotMeshStudio CAD
The goal for this sprint is that you will be able to build a virtual robot. The dream is that you develop skills to be able to use Computer Aided Design (CAD) to build a competitive.
RobotMesh Studio Mimic is free and web based so you will not need to install any software. It has a feature where you can build a custom virtual robot and drive it without any programming. The virtual robot can also be programmed with drag and drop or text based programming. The code can also be downloaded directly onto a V5 robot!

Sprint for 4/13-4/24Robotics Projects students,
Hope you are well and ready to dive back into this crazy year!! The rest of the semester will be broken into Sprints with the first starting Monday 4/13 and finishing Friday 4/24. Each student will create a Google Slides presentation (named YourNameSpring2020) and share it with [email protected]. Below is an outline. Note: You are expected to put in 1.5 hours per week. You are welcome to do more but if you are stressing out stop at 1.5 hours. It's all good!! Slide 1: Your name and a picture of you wearing a robotics shirt. Your team shirt if you have it, or be creative if you do not. I will use it to put together a robotics club team picture collage. Slide 2: Sprint Retrospective: What went well during the 2019-2020 VEX Robotics Season, This is for the entire season. Please include pictures if you have them!! Slide 3: Sprint Retrospective: What did not go well during the 2019-2020 VEX Robotics Season. This is for the entire season. Please include pictures if you have them!! Slide 4: Sprint Retrospective: What improvements can be made for next season. Slide 5: Sprint Backlog: What you want to get done in the next two weeks. Break it down as best as you can into tasks. (There is a list of potential project ideas below.) Slide 6, 7, 8, 9...(if needed) Daily Scrum Notes: For each day include: a) The date b) What you accomplished since last time working on the project c) What you intend to get done today d) What is getting in the way of your success e) A picture. Could be of code, progress on your project or something else related to you work that time Slide 10 (Complete on 4/24): Sprint Review: Description of what is 'done'. Include pictures. |

Project Ideas
Below is a partial list of potential projects
1) VEXCode Virtual World programming.(https://vr.vex.com/) In early April this year VEX came out with a virtual world programming platform. The good side is that it is free and web based. No need to install software!!! A potential downside is that it is drag-and-drop programming. If you are stuck on what to do, this is a good choice. You can follow along with the Robotics Programming class website for activities to help with programming.
2) Robotmesh studio programming Virtual World (Mimic). (https://www.robotmesh.com/studio) This is also free, has a Virtual World component, uses code that can be directly downloaded to the V5 robot and you can build a Virtual Robot. The downside is there are not as many resources to support learning this. This could be a choice for someone already strong in programming that wants to get to know another platform or someone that is willing to put some time into figuring out how to build a robot in their virtual world.
3) Research and prototype a mechanism that could be incorporated into a robot in the future. Use whatever material you can access for prototyping. I've included a few youtube videos on using cardboard to building mechanisms. Potential ideas: Double reverse 4-bar, scissor lift, H drive, X drive, 6-bar, 8-bar, linear slides, shooting mechanisms, best practice in construction.
Prototyping platforms: Hardware: Cardboard, LEGOs, VEX Parts, Erector Set, toothpicks,..
Some Software options: Google Sketchup , TinkerCAD, RobotMesh Studio, AutoDesk Inventor (For those that have taken Intro to Engineering Design),...
4) Prototype and describe one of the mechanisms incorporated on your robot last year. Gatherer, drive train, expanding tray, lift, ...
5) SkillsUSA Teams. Urban Search and Rescue. R and D, build a prototype, ...
5) Make a proposal. Send me a note to see if it can work,

Notes:
1) In video 6 you need to run the program using 'Run' (at the top of the screen) rather than 'Test Drive'.
2) You need to reverse the polarity of the right motors. (On teh right, hit the Gear' then select ;Reverse Polarity'.
