Obstacle course
The next task of the project was to build the obstacle course for the robot. Thankfully, whoever laid the tiles in my kitchen new that one day I would need to build an obstacle course with a width of 60cm, and therefore laid tiles with a width of exactly 60cm. This made the production of the obstacle course even simpler than it already was. Here is the design of the obstacle course we were assigned to build:
My first step was to lay down tape at the different markings along the obstacle course. Once I had the markings of the obstacle course laid out, I then taped across the obstacle course to give the outline.
I couldn’t find any 20cm or 40cm objects lying around the house to use as obstacles, so I cut the obstacles to the correct dimensions out of some thick cardboard that I was able to grab in my shed.
Finally, I used some scotch tape to secure the obstacles into position and give the finished product.
Making the obstacle course was quite straightforward, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it holds up in the next few days when my robot attempts to conquer it.
That’s all for now, Ted.
