KIPR engages middle and high school aged students in a team-oriented robotics competition based on national science education standards.
By designing, building, programming, and documenting robots, students use science, engineering, technology, math, and writing skills in a hands-on project that reinforces their learning.
KIPR also runs the Junior Botball Challenge which teaches elementary and middle school students how to program by completing challenges with robots to master STEM concepts.
Some of the functions include get_create_lcliff_amt(), get_create_rcliff_amt(), get_create_lfcliff_amt(), and get_create_rfcliff_amt(). If I remember correctly, the value returned will be somewhere between 0 and 4950. There is also some cool stuff with the bump sensors and with motor encoders, among other things built into the roomba. All of the roomba commands that KIPR made can be found in the wallaby libraries, and documentation of the roomba's many sensors can be found online if you look up the iRobot Create 2. If you were curious what an implementation of the Roomba's cliff sensing code might look like in action, albeit written in Python, here's our GitHub page for it: github.com/RockvilleRobotics/Incredibots2019/blob/master/Roomba%20Code/sensors.py
Side A: Robot on terrace scores 25points Hay score 0 points (touching black/furrow not a scoring area for bales) Blue Cow scores 0 points (not in scoring area) Botguy scores 0 points (neutral area/touching black) Water Container scores 5 in the barn Poms Those left on black tape around starting block do not score, blue pom pushed to inside scores 1 point Pink poms(exception of upper and lower planter) are touching black tape, score 0 points Green poms still in bin score 0 points Blue poms located in the aquifer do not score. 7 orange poms are on side and not touching black, score 7 points 1 pink in lower planter is 5 points 1 pink in upper planter is 10 points Furrows Furrow #1 -2pts(1pom,1 color,unsorted) Furrow #2 -6pts(3poms,1 color,unsorted(no score poms that don’t touch game board)) Furrow #3- 24(6 poms,2 color, unsorted(no score poms that don’t touch game board)) Total Points Side A: 85 points Side B: Robot on hill scores 15 points Hay scores 0 points as all are touching black line Botguy is in neutral area, scores 0 points Blue Cow is in field, scores 0 points Water Container not present, scores 0 points Poms Green poms in basket, no score. Blue poms, 6 in field scores 6 points Field Pink poms are touching black tape, score 0 points Orange pom in field scores 1 point Furrows score 0 points Total Points Side B: 22 points
