Hopper
January 20, 2004
Robotic locomotion does not just have to be wheels.
Today's project can hop along.

Do we really have to take Jay's project apart?
Yes, Mrs. Simon is sick and we can not use the materials in the closet
but I do have one of her books and we are going to try out the hopper project.

The building went great now let's get to the programming.

We made all sorts of RoboLab programs to make it hop around.

The last program has the robot hop until it finds a bright spot like a white paper.


We can connect from Davis Creek to Marshall University but not the other way around.
Friday a class will try to connect to Davis Creek.
Hope it works by then.
