Consecutive Commands And Their Speeds

Purpose:

 The purpose of this experiment is to calculate the accuracy between consecutive commands.

Hypothesis:

 The create will take 16/64 (0.25) seconds to process consecutive commands.

Materials

• Create Robot
• Real Term
• Connection cables
• Number converter
• Stopwatch

Procedure:

1. Using Real Term, make a script command, have the create wait for five seconds, drive (drive direct) for five seconds, and stop.

   *152 14 155 5 145 0 200 0 200 155 5 145 0 0 0 0 

1. Using the Stop watch, time how long it takes for the robot to start. Repeat this and take the average time it took for the robot to start.
2. Repeat above but this time use the stopwatch to time the robot's driving time. Again, take the average time.
3. This time, use the stopwatch to time the entire script and average the times.
4. Now test your accuracy with the stop watch. Stop the stopwatch when it reaches 5 seconds and record the amount you were off. Once more, take the average error.

Results:

Time Create Waited-----------------------Time Create Drove (Programed to drive 5 seconds)---Entire Script-----------------------Reaction Time

Calculations and Conclusions:

  Averages:

• Entire script: 10.3913
• Driving time: 5.261
• Wait time: 5.2666
• Reaction time: 0.2083

-Using all of the averages from above, we can now do our calculations.

The number of seconds the entire script took minus the reaction time should equal the number of seconds of the wait time minus the reaction time plus the number of seconds of driving time minus the reaction time. (It is important to subtract the reaction time so that there is as little experimental error as possible.)

In numbers: (10.3913-.2083)=(5.2666-.2083)+(5.261-.2083) 10.183=10.1104

Difference in seconds: .0726

In conclusion, the create takes approximately 0.0726 seconds to process consecutive commands. However, this number might be slightly lower due to my reaction times. The create robot is very efficient when processing consecutive commands.
