2 Transfer System
Concepts:
● A1.3.1 Cost Overview
This would be important because it would show us how prices for items can be
impacted with such things as Fixed and Variable Costs, including autonomous work and
human labor.
● P1.2.9 AGV
The AGV Project was important to this, as it introduced us to a lot of similar concepts,
and was our first look at the way to do these reports. Although the projects are not
identical, or the same, a lot of the same things, such as the use of ultrasonic sensors
and buttons for start/e-stops were used in both projects.
● A1.2.7 Open and Closed Loop Systems
Open Loops used in this project were very important, as in an Open Loop System the
output has no effect on the input or action. Closed Loop Systems, on the other hand,
rely on feedback, such as the use of the Ultrasonic Sensor stopping the actions of the
conveyor belt once it receives the feedback that there is something in front of it,
something is taken away and how many times something is put in front of it.
● A1.2.6 Variables and Functions
Variables and Functions were important to the programming of the conveyor belt as it
cleaned up the code by only calling the function, or calling back a variable to remember
how many times a code was executed.
● A1.2.5 While and If-Else Structures
This concept was used heavily in the code for the robot; when a condition is true, the
While Loop repeats, while when a condition is not true, it executes the rest of the
program or the Else Statements.
● A1.2.4 Basic Inputs Programming and A1.2.3 Basic Outputs Programming
Inputs and Outputs are needed to be able to perform the most basic of actions when
doing programs, this includes giving the robot commands to move certain parts, such as
the wheels, in what directions, or even making such things as the E-Stop.
Materials List:
CONVEYOR BELT
● ⅜ Screws (28)
● Motor Screws (4)
ASSEMBLY PART
Procedure:
Step 3: Put an angle gusset at the beginning of the conveyor belt, so the part you put on
the conveyor belt doesn’t end up falling the wrong way.
Step 9: Put on the tank treads onto the driver wheels, making sure it’s not too tight or
too loose, as well as the start button, for when you put the first item on the conveyor belt
(top right).
Complete!
Step 2: Within task main program what would happen if the start button was activated
then start the motors. The wait statement will stop the code from confusing itself by
separating stopping motors and starting motors if need be.
Step 3: Add a while statement where the product must be made 5 times using the count
that was already initialized. Create the first station where if the sonar detects an object
then the motors stop. The wait time allows for the object to be picked up and once the
sonar detects an object again it will start the motors and bring it to the next station.
Step 5: When the product hits the countBtn then the motors stop and the the count goes
up by 1. After this all that awaits is the start button and it will continue to loop until 5
parts are made.
