Challenge
Previously in this Lab, you have successfully used sensors to move two red and two green disks to their designated areas with the conveyors. In this challenge, you will add the arm mounted on the VEX V5 Workcell to pick up the two green disks from the Transport Conveyor Belt and move them to the drop off location. You will also add two blue disks and move them from the Entry Conveyor Belt, through the Transport Conveyor Belt, passing through the Diverter.
Follow these steps to complete the challenge:
- Open the ‘Lab 10- Workcell’ project in VEXcode V5.
- Select ‘File’ then ‘Save As’ to rename the project ‘Lab 10- Challenge.’
- Using the skills developed earlier in this Lab, edit the project. Your VEXcode V5 project should accomplish the following using sensor data:
- Move two red, two blue, and two green disks from the Entry Conveyor Belt to the locations shown in the image above.
- The red disks should be diverted off the Exit Conveyor Belt.
- Each green disk should pass through the Diverter and stop in front of the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell.
- Once a green disk has finished moving along the Transport Conveyor Belt, the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell needs to pick up the disk.
- After the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell has picked up the green disk, the disk needs to be moved to the marked drop off location, as shown in the image above.
- The blue disk should pass through the Diverter and stop in front of the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell.
- Once the blue disk has finished moving along the Transport Conveyor Belt, the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell needs to pick up the disk.
- After the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell has picked up the disk, the blue disk needs to be moved to the marked drop off location, as shown in the image above.
- Once the first red disk has been moved to the Exit Conveyor Belt, remove the disk from the Workcell. This will prevent any errors from the Line Tracker Sensor on the Exit Conveyor Belt.
- Note that multiple location points will be needed in this project to pick each disk up and move it from the Transport Conveyor Belt to the drop off location.
- Run the project.
