This was the most difficult and involved project that we had completed in this class. The challenge of this project was to build a device using VEX robotics that would sort fifteen marbles. The fifteen marbles had to be of three different materials; five wood, five steel, and five clear plastic. The project also had to be completely automated and could have no human assistance in operation other than pushing a button to start and stop it.
This project taught me a lot. One major thing I learned from this project was coding. We learned how to use a program called RobotC which uses C coding. This was very helpful for me because I wish to get into the computer engineering field. I also learned from this project how important it is to plan everything ahead. This project was very involved and it required us to go trough every stage of the design process in order to complete. My final take-a-way from this project was how important it is to work well with a partner.
