    Ben's Pololu 3pi robot (prototype) solving a line maze. This robot was programmed to compete in the LVBots Challenge 4.0 (www.lvbots.org) at the end of May, 2008.

      actually something i saw in a recent video is that those batteries get their voltage multiplied then metered back down to 9 volts so essentially those batteries give full and consistent voltage till they are dead, but also this is more about the programming aspect of the robot.

  • @Franx-bd8om
    @Franx-bd8om Před 5 lety +39

    To solve the problem with the loops you could try to make the bot create a map of all parts of labyrinth he passed and when he is on a new knot he could eliminate lines which will take him to his previous positions.

  • @Scoonezy132
    @Scoonezy132 Před 13 lety +33

    Very clever! However, I have a question: if there are multiple routs to the centre and it learns both, how does it judge which to go down? If they both have the same amount of turns, how does it work out which is best?

    • @kutsy3785
      @kutsy3785 Před 2 lety +20

      It doesnt learn two paths. Like he said, its literally left leaning meaning that it will hug left wall until a successful path is solved, thats the only path it will know.

  • @tzkelley
    @tzkelley Před 14 lety +4

    What does the robot do if it can't complete the first pass in the time alloted? The original rules for line maze (using 1/4" tape instead of 3/4") made it very difficult to complete a first pass in only one run.

    Are you following the depth first search algorithm? And your sensors are mindblowing. Also what motors are you using? Normally DC geared motors low torque don't stop at the moment when we signal them to.

      You can buy that robot here : www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XGJ3XS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003XGJ3XS&linkCode=as2&tag=intorobo-20

    • @OctaRudin
      @OctaRudin Před 5 lety

      +Avirup Basu well. you have same problem with me, he use metal geared motor and i use small dc motor low torque with plastic gear. i think that is the problem. so we can use metal geared motor and i think that is strong enough to make robot turn left or right at the moment.

  • @TheGamePixelz
    @TheGamePixelz Před 10 lety

    The only issue is, what if the path directly left of the start was another way to get to the end and was faster? It wouldn't know and therefore would be slower than possible.

    • @turrboenvy4612
      @turrboenvy4612 Před 9 lety

      Perhaps it should either perform a second mapping with right-hand turns, or, once it's found the end to turn around and keep mapping until it can reasonably believe it has mapped everything.
