Analysis Of The First Robotics Team

The most important and fun extracurricular activity I participate in is being a member of a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics Team. I first entered a robotics team in the eighth grade, participating in a similar program called FIRST Lego League (FLL). Before FLL, I had no idea about what I wanted to be when I grow up and frankly, I had no ambition. After being introduced to robotics in 2013, it has become my #1 passion in which I spend around an average of 4-6 hours per week - sometimes even more during the peak season.

Like an artist’s palette is full of different colors, I am individual with many different interests, hobbies, personalities, and abilities. My personalities are as bold as a bright yellow. My hobbies and interests are all similar shades of each other, and my abilities are united like one streak of paint. All these colors combine on one canvas to create me, Srivinay Tummarakota.

Confronting my teammate was not something I would have done when I first joined the team. In fact, speaking out wasn’t something I had the confidence to do. In 9th grade Earth Science I would never raise my hand to answer a question to identify the type of rock as limestone, afraid of the possible embarrassment of getting it wrong. Even when I was sure of the answer, the anxiety of projecting my voice was lingering in my thoughts. It got to the point where my grades started to slip for not only low-class

In “Alone Together: The Robotic Movement,” Sherry Turkle explains some of the negative effects that robots are having on our lives. She also explains how they can have a negative effect on our daily lives without us even noticing. I am someone who knows a great deal about technology, however I had no idea that close human-robot interaction was happening at such an inappropriate level. There are many different examples Turkle uses in the article, however, I will only talk about two. I agree with Turkle not only that there are ethical problems with human-robot interaction but also that a lot of other forms of technology might be doing more harm than good.

During my first quarter of running start, I took intro to sociology and I had a major midterm project. When we were aquatinted with our members I took initiative to make sure we could all communicate and work online to reduce the number of times we needed to meet so that the students who had trouble with transportation could carpool with members of our group who lived near the college. We decided to spend a few minutes after class on discussing the project and whilst doing so I could see that a particular member of our group, Alex would doubt her ability to work on the project. I made sure that she knew that having her in our group was crucial to successes and that I am open to helping her overcome her doubts. We had conversations about struggling

During my sophomore and junior year, I joined the FTC Robotics Team. I was one of the programmers and builders for the robot. I will help the team build the robot and after the robot is done, a group of students and I would program the robot to do some specific tasks. After we are done building and have programed the robot we compete against other schools. During competition, we would meet with other teams and form allies. We operate robots to compete in a challenge with the teams we are allied with.

The team members of S.A.W. all come from different backgrounds, yet they all have a profound interest in very similar things. Dahmin Branch is an eleventh grader who’s involved in sports programs, such as basketball, while also being involved in academic programs, such as the National Honor Society. However, through all of this, he has developed a profound interest in fixing computers and designing video games. This has encouraged him to be a computer engineer and a video game designer five years ago and he is still committed to accomplishing that goal today. Marquise Harris is an eleventh grader who simply loved to tinker with broken technology and play with it when he was a young child. He considers fixing things fun and interesting. When he fixed his old computer, he felt like his fate was sealed.

They were guys like me it was there first semester and didn’t know what to expect from the class. We agreed to contact each other on canvas because we had a big final project coming up that was worth a lot of points. We split the work evenly and decided to work on it throughout the semester. We all had occasionally forgot to check our messages to see if somebody updated there part. I had got caught up with my other work that I didn’t pay attention to the team I hardly would put anything on the chat. When it came to the day of to present my team informed me that they cut me from the group and that I was on my own for the project. I had communicated poorly so much it got to the point where my team cut me out of the group and had told the teacher and she agreed with the course of action they

We had to take our paper the day it was due and then we were paired up. Our partners had the responsibility to revise our papers and make comments on the papers. After we were given the opportunity to write our papers with the changes our partners had made. I was partnered with a girl I did not know. When reading her paper I could not understand what she was writing about. Her verb tenses were not correct and she had a lot of misspelled words. When I was making the changes I felt bad because I did nit want her to think because I spoke Spanish I was being very critical of her paper. I did not want her to receive a bad grade on her paper. I decided to ask the professor if I could take my partner outside of the classroom and explain the changes I made to her paper. When we were alone I told her that I do not want her to take it the wrong way but her paper did not make sense. I started explaining to her all the mistakes she made. At first I though she was going to be upset because I was changing her whole paper. When we were finished she was thankful for all the help I offered her. She told me that she was struggling in Spanish and she had a lot of trouble writing the paper. I

I've been interested in technological things for as long as I can remember. Not things like the new iPhone or The Apple Watch, but things like coding and programming. It's crazy how you can type in a seemingly meaningless jumbles of letters and symbols and what comes out is something beautiful. During the summer of 7th grade, I took a robotics class, and we went to visit the Cedar Falls High School's First Robotics club, and see the facility that they worked in. I was the only girl that took the class, and I think I was the most intrigued with the inner workings of the club and everything that went into building that robot. Ever since that day, I've always dreamed of being the girl outsmarting all the boys on my robotics team, showing my intelligence

During the ICC- AP Water Rocket Competition, our group won the first prize as the one that lasting the longest in the sky. For this competition, we not only considered materials needed for the wings, the body, the nose and so forth. We also considered the length of the body, the shape and size of the parachute, how to put the parachute inside the body so that it can open at the appropriate height during the flight … All these factors we need to consider were critical in determining the maximize height the rocket can reach, and the time it can last in the sky.

I selected the story “The Running of the Robots” by Oliver Buckram. The story is about a U.S Army retired (sergeant Alberto Mendoza) that in the past made a mistake with a programming message that have been sending robots on an infinite loop around the 32d parallel. Every year Mendoza “stayed indoors during the running of the robots” (Buckram, 2012, p.1). He thinks that those robots were harmful to people (Buckram, 2012). This year a man stayed with him in his house while the robots pass by. This man changed how Mendoza was thinking about himself. Now he thinks his is not a bad person.

How would today’s world be if the technology that is known and loved by millions suddenly vanished? Could the world re-adapt to the lack of technology, or would it plummet into Darkness and Despair? In actuality, if someone can develop artificial intelligences to a certain limit he or she can prevent many of the world’s future problems. In a sense, Mankind can benefit greatly from the further use and development of Artificial Intelligence although some people would have one believe that the further development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can endanger large areas around the world.

The robot had been out for 24 hours now and already Jasper has lost his family from the explosions. All 4 of them were dead except for him. He was alone and the frigid night air had engulfed him in chills as he lay on the hard, burned ground.The robot….the robot was originally a government project. Then the AI nuclear robot went rogue, escaping the facility where the tests were being run and started blowing everything up across Dead Creek, Farem, the capital of the Government.

This document explains my approach to solve the coursework questions for the Robotic Fundamentals module. The coursework is divided into three different parts. The first part of the coursework asks to derive the forward and inverse kinematics of a serial manipulator (Lynxmotion arm AL5B) and plot its workspace and trajectories. The second part asks to develop a kinematic simulation of the parallel robot. The third part is an open-ended relevant topic. Matlab software is used here to create model for simulation.
