    Elegoo Robot - V4

    

    * Arduino Based
    * 4 DC Motors with Motor Control Circuit
    * 3 IR Trackers
    * 1 Ultrasonic Range Finder
    

    ** contains other functions not used in our projects

     

    Battery Care/Use:

    Plug in after each use:

    Uploading: Turn Robot Power Off - Upload while on stand with wheels elevated.

     

    Tools: Allen Wrench (Hex Key) , Phillips Screw Driver, Hemostats

     

    Assembly of Elegoo V4

     - Verify Parts are tightened
    

    1. Remove Top of Frame (6 Bolts) - Don't unplug Motors
    2. Ultrasonic Mounts tight
    3. Arduino Mounts tight - remove motor control shield to access bolts
    4. Battery Mounts tight
    5. Remove wheels
    6. Motor Mounts tight
    7. Reinstall wheels
    8. Edge Sensor Mounts tight
    9. Replace Frame top (6 bolts) - tighten top and bottom frame bolts

    - Test All Functions:
    

    1. Run the Test All V4 program
    2. Wheels should drive forward, back, right, left
    3. Ultrasonic sould register distance to closest object
    4. Edge Sensors (3) should read 1 for black or non-reflective and 0 for white or reflective.

    Assignment:

    Write a program to:

    Drive Forward 5 feet

    Turn Right 90 degrees

    Back up 4 feet

    Turn Left 90 Degrees

    Drive Forward 3 Feet

    Turn Right ___ Degrees

    Drive Forward ____ Back to your starting Point.

    Turn to point in the original direction and stop.

    Compete for smallest distance from starting point.

    BCS Robot Sumo Wrestling Rules

    
    

    Tournament:

    -          Double Elimination (Must lose twice to be eliminated)

    -          Random Initial Pairing

    Matches:

    -          Up to 3 minutes in duration

    -          Winner is the best of 3 Bouts

    -          Winning the match moves the robot ahead in the pairings

    -          Ties are decided by the judge

    Bouts:

    -          Robots start mid ring, beside each other, facing opposite directions

    -          Left/Right Side placement switches after each Bout

    -          A Robot wins a Bout when its opponent leaves the ring (touches the floor)

    -          Ties are decided by the judge

    -          Any parts coming off a robot during a Bout cause it to forfeit that Bout

    -          An extended "dance" may be stopped by mutual consent or judge's decision- restarting at center ring
    

    Sportsmanship:

    -          No Robot (or participant) may intentionally harm another robot (or participant)

    -          Cheering for your robot is encouraged

    Robot Specifications:

    -          Size  – Standard Elegoo V4 Robot
    

    -          Weight – Standard Elegoo V4 Robot
    

    -          need to be autonomous (programmed to make their own decisions)

    -          need a 5 second programmed delay after power up
