EGN 1935: ECE ADVENTURES Robot: Super Mario Team Members Sam Kerns Anjelica Warren Reed Lengel

Sam Kerns Freshman I was going to major in Pre-Pharmacy and something else Now I have decided to major in EE This class has revived my interest in robots and circuits I want to get involved in some projects here I want to work at Sigenics for a while, maybe become head of the Gainesville division

Anjelica Warren Freshman Chemical or Electrical Engineering Even though I am still undecided, I am now leaning towards a major in Electrical Engineering Through hands -on practice, I learned about robotics and basic programming in a fun, interesting way. I would love to mix my love for music with engineering possibly as a sound or audio engineer.

Reed Lengel Sophomore Mechanical Engineering When I started this class, I was undecided on my specific area of engineering. However I have since changed to Mechanical Engineering. This class helped peak my interest in robotics and how they work.

Design and Approach Designed robot to continue moving forward for a certain amount of time unless noticeable change occurred in sensors Three Infrared Sensors prevented the robot from bumping into the walls CDS Cell detected the black strip at the end of the maze signaling the robot to turn around

Problems and Solutions Turning too late Getting stuck in corners Programmed robot to turn sooner by lowering minimum sensor reading that would cause it to turn Isolated middle sensor with each side sensor separately

Conclusions Words of Wisdom Know your limits, take classes that interest you and don't relate directly to your major -Sam This course is a good class to take for young engineers who may be unsure of what their focus is. It is a good way to introduce unfamiliar material to students looking to be engineers. -Reed As an engineer, you often work in groups. Be considerate of each others ideas and opinions. Be willing to compromise. -Anjelica
