This is a video of Rick Brooks first run. His robot is called "No Name". You can see the resulting path the robot took by viewing the .KML file in Google Earth here:

  • The answers will take up more space that allowed on YouTube comments. I suggest that you visit me web site at BrooksBots for more detailed information and make use of the email link there.

  • @BrooksBots Thats great. when you say sonar do you mean ultrasonic sensor? Where did you get your sensor from? I have been using one from parallax and it work well from 0 to about 3 meters. Also what kind of GPS did you use and where did you get it from? Your's seems to be pretty accurate.

  • @mymindsiinc The robot uses GPS to get close to the cones and sonar to actually touch the cones. The sonar range to the cone is limited to less than 1.2 meters. As can be seen in this video, the robot was not close enough to the first cone to detect it. After looking for 45 seconds, the robot went on to the second cone. For the next run, I moved the GPS waypoint two meters East and one meter North. That worked.

  • great video, I'm working on a type of robomagellan robot too. It's this new robot platform called MINDS-i. Robomagellan is an exciting competion, I believe next year (2012) we will be sponsoring a team. anyways, I'm curious how you did the cone detection?
