LAST CHALLANGE!!!!

We did it!!

Our robot "Buddy" successfully projected a ball, by kicking it, and then fetched it, only to kick once again! He did an amazing job! But of course his "parents" are the ones to thank.

The group did well. Once the team discovered that the project could have reached a difficult end once we discovered the robot would not be able to fetch the ball using an ultrasonic sensor. The distance in which "Buddy" through the ball was too far for him to recognize its location.

So at this point we changed our strategy to Bluetooth technology. By controlling the robot with a remote we could "coach" buddy to the ball's location. This what allowed the group to be successful.

After the task we took "buddy" apart and returned our LEGO pieces. Soon we followed by completing a team reflection.

Rest in peace, Buddy!
