ROBOT: SIPOC


Sipoc is built from spare parts i had. it is built on a jazz disk jewel case. the comtroller is an OOPIC. the servos are controlled straight from the oopic, no SSC was needed. i used IR proximity detection with 1 detector and 2 IR LED's. the bumper is built from legos and uses two radio shack micro switches. There are also 2 photo resistors for phototropic behaviors.

this fairly small robot was programmed in visual basic. the programs functions operate on a priority menu. The bumpers have the first priority, IR is the second, and the photoresistors are last. this enables the robot to evade an object seen on IR, while running phototropic behaviors. the robot uses differential steering. this takes advantage of spinning in its own space. this lessens the chances of getting stuck somewhere.
