Scribblers By Michael Borke
Outline • Scribbler Strengths and Weaknesses • Easiest things to do with it • Coolest things it can do • What I bring to the team (My “Secret Weapon”) • Things Scribbycan’t do yet • Summary
Scribbler Strengths • Many different ways to interact and sense the environment • Can give feedback with beeps, lights and movement • Mobile and wireless • Very simple tool kit, yet with the potential for so much
Scribbler Weaknesses • CANNOT be given a program to run independent of the Fluke Bluetooth connection • Bluetooth is slow • Robots aren’t perfect • Needs a lot of calibration/pampering
Easiest • Movement • Simple behaviors • Singing Songs • Can draw • Simple image processing
Coolest • Many sensors = Potential for complex behavior • Could create a Tron type game using the line sensor and drawing capabilities • Using image processing and maze navigation to make two Scribblers play “Hide and Seek” • Controlling one with your phone via Bluetooth • Use network connection and multiple Scribblers
Personal Traits • Down to EARTH, realistic • FIERY passion to succeed, will never give up • Motivator, like WIND to a sail • Like WATER, goes with the flow and keeps the big picture in mind • A LOVE for learning
Hardest/Wish List • Ability to download instructions to the Scribbler via the Fluke • More accurate sensing, or at least easier to calibrate sensors • Wi-Fi connection to the Scribbler, for faster reaction and longer range • At the cost of extra battery usage
