Iteration
When building on the Workcell, or even programming to solve a challenge, it is important to iterate on the process. Some helpful tips include:
- Document your process in an Engineering Notebook or other type of log. This will help you keep track of progress, and to learn from prior experiences or mistakes.
- Don’t try to solve an entire challenge at once. Break pieces down into manageable steps. For example, do small increments of building to ensure pieces work properly. Attach one conveyor and get it working before trying to assemble three or four at a time.
- Break code into smaller parts. A small error in a large project may be difficult to find. Pull blocks off of a large stack, or disable blocks to test smaller stacks of code. This makes testing the project more manageable.
