This is the journey for our robot.
We chose the robot that Peter W. built and we interviewed him to find out how he got the idea.
Last winter, we found a design idea for a moveable drive-train. Peter added a frame, wheels, and an attachment apparatus for a basic robot design. He made it so the drive-train can switch to 4 different outputs, the steering and three attachments. Later, he added bump sensors and a light sensor to make it more versatile, and also stepped up the structural support in the rear. After developing a myblock to use both bump sensors on the front as one, or individually, the team tested all the designs that Peter W. and other members had made. After the testing and speeches by various members of the team, we got a super majority (5-2) for Peter W.'s robot. Since he used his own pieces (mostly) to make it, we had to duplicate it using team pieces. We later voted, and the official name of this robot is... (drumroll please) "Alphonse"! No really, it is.
