Ops Manager: Try It Out

This is the fourth challenge within the Robotics with GoPiGo and Python Curriculum.

Your task is to design a robot program that increases the volume of products that Amazing.com can ship out to its customers on a daily basis without increasing the number of robot pickers it employs.

Learn how to program and calibrate the Line Follower while they try to design an efficient system.

3. Adjust & Improve

If your stock picker weaves to and fro along the straight portions of the line (much like the Bang! Bang! Controller does) your proportional control is too strong.

To reduce the weave, reduce the magnitude of your steering responses by lowering the proportional controller’s motor speed adjustment.

Repeat the timed run.

You should see improved times as less weave means less distance to travel.
