final project v rep
robot kingdom
Ideas
I came up with this topic because I think that if there is a kingdom for robots only, it must be very interesting. So I decide to create such a kingdom with v rep.
And I need to let some robots move from A to B, so I plan to make a few paths for the certain cars to run. At first, I make just only one simple path for a car to run, but I think that is too easy and boring for me, so I design a special path with turning many times to show that my kingdom is interesting and happy. But if there is just one path even if it is special, I think it monotonous. So I create another 5 paths again. I don't want these 5 paths to be too complex; I just want to let my kingdom looks cute and attractive with them. So I just make 5 simple circle paths with different size to rich my kingdom.
Then, in order to make my kingdom colorful and beautiful, I add some trees, robots, and obstacles, plants, and bumps. Now, I think my kingdom is colorful.

Step
Because I use LineTracer, so if the path I use is too sharp, it can't run on the path and jump out the plane. To avoid this case, I redesign a perfect path many times for it.
The second problem is, if the bump is too big, it will stop the LineTracer. So I need to adjust the size to let it be able to put at the place of turn without interferencing the LineTracer.
By the way, I intended to put another mobile robots like nao, because it looks cute. But I finally gave up to put it on my plane, because it will walk by itself, and there are not so many places for it to walk. Although it is very cute, I finally gave up this plan.
