Robot Design + Programming

ROBOT DESIGN

Jerry, our base Robot, was the first robot we designed using BrickLink Studio.
Jerry has many useful features and has been optimized for FLL.
- An EV3 Brick
- The gyro sensor
- Two light sensors for line squaring and line following
- An attachment interface that has 2 gears and a spot for attachments to fit in.
Also, we have a clone, Tom, so two groups can practice at once.

We have started to use Python instead of Labview
Learning Python started out as a fun activity over the summer
But because we spent so much time learning it, we thought it would be a good idea to use it this year.
It gives us more freedom with programming in comparison to the prior language we were using, Labview.
And, as it turned out, all our Python code for RePlay Season takes almost ten times less storage space than all our Labview code for City Shaper season did last year!
