Lab4Lab 4: Wimp Mode Write-UpThis lab was a real challenge that gave me a greater respect for the iRobot engineers who programmed these demos. My Wimp mode successfully follows all of the required behavior patterns, as well as incorporating realistic safety features and LED patterns. I learned a very useful lesson during this lab: sensor values can be reset to equal zero at anytime, this eliminated the need for variables and equations to negate un-needed or left over data. I also learned that a timer is required for the robot to stop long enough for its sensors to read no motion, in order to prevent “hiccupping” in the program. Another key part of this lab was observation time, for without this it would be impossible to recreate (no pun intended) the Create’s Wimp Mode with the proper situational responses, and corresponding LED patterns. The difficulty level of this lab taught me a lot about troubleshooting and how to structure a successful code.
