1st Semester Freshmen
Majoring in Computer(hardware) Engineering
I have learned the basics of robotic
programing
I would like to purse graduate studies in
Robotics and Artificial intelligence
I do not consider that this course has any
effect on my future
After college, I plan to dominate the world
Do what you are suppose to be doing, when
you are suppose to be doing it
Sofia Gaviria
Freshman
Major: Biology
Learned from course: about sensors and how to
program a robot to run on its own…trial and error
 how course affect future: I am going to think
more in depth about how everything we use works
electrically speaking, develop great respect for
engineers
 UF/career plans and goals: I plan to go into
pre-med, expose myself to the various
opportunities in that area, gain lab experience
 Words of wisdom: Don’t procrastinate, keep
your goals in mind, try something new, keep an
open mind, some change is good.

1st Semester Freshmen
Majoring in Environmental Engineering
I have learned what goes into building a robot
In the future I hope to use this knowledge to build
a battlebot
I plan to get a degree in EES, and maybe a masters
After college, I want to work for the government,
and then hopefully open my own firm
Work hard and have fun!
Proposed methodology
Our Robot relied on the left/right side
Infrared sensors(IR) to avoid collision
 In addition to the front sensor to estimate
proximity
 After receiving a value from the front IR the
robot relied on the value from the side IRs to
make a decision
 While constantly checking for the value that
the photocell feeding back

Proposed methodology
As a goal we endeavor to follow the rules of
good programming practice. By keeping a
simple and concise code with out sacrificing
efficiency and clarity.
 We accomplish this by limiting the source
code to 4 lines of behaviors.

If chan1 < 30 & chan 2 <
forward for 300
Else if chan 0 > 65 then
Else if chan 1 > 30 then
Else if chan 1 > 20 then
30 then
right for 2

Problems & Solution
The main problem we experienced was
faulty sensor readings when two sensor
where caught in a corner at and oblique
angle.
 This prevented the robot for completing
the 1st run successfully, however the 2nd
run the robot complete the course
effectively
