Hello everyone, we should work on the project described below, to graduate.We are not much into robotics so we are looking for some advice. Does anyone know what sort of equipments should be used?
Design and construct a vehicle which collaborates with a similar vehicle to carry a long object over a rough (*) terrain, without tilting it.
Vehicles must work in coordination to follow each other, keep the distance between them, and keep the platform horizontal, throughout the test course(**).
Both vehicles must actively participate in the control effort.
The platform being carried cannot contain sensors, marks or any other information and cannot be used to form a stiff connection between the vehicles.
No hard wiring is allowed between the vehicles.
(*)Common standards to be satisfied to facilitate the collaboration, such as properties of the terrain, object to be carried, and means to establish interaction between the vehicles are to be decided upon by a joint standards committee, composed of representatives of teams undertaking the project.
(**) The test course will be 40 cm. wide and 250 cm. long with a profile consisting of 1½ cycle of
with horizontal flat pieces added at both ends, as shown in the figure. The test course can be used in both directions.

You'll have to let us know what those standards are.

That's dinky

Hi, my maths, science and geography teachers would have crucified me for that ? Graph ? in post #1.
Where is its TITLE, X-axis title, Y axis Title. and you are expecting to graduate and move into the work force?
Now, I'm not your lecturer, but repost that " Graph " with the text it deserves.
[/soapbox]
If you are not into robotics, why are you doing this project before you have been taught the basics?
What is the course you hope to graduate in?
Go back to post #2 and read it, then rewrite it, knowing that we have no idea what your project is.
Even post a copy of the project description you were given by your coordinator.

Sir.. Sir.. I think he's chewing gum too.
Hi, well post #1 to post #2, took them over a month to workout that they had posted a ? graph ? and no explanation.
