I participate in Robocup Junior Soccer Lightweight.

What's up!

(this paragraph is not about my project, im just talking about how my day went) Today was a good day. I watched the newly released Jurassic Park/World movie, called "Jurassic World: Dominion" for the second time. I enjoyed it. I heard it comcludes the Jurassic world series, and to be honest, I am a bit sad because it is my favorite series. I dont think it would be the last movie or TV series of the franchise(because of money reasons, a single movie makes BILLIONS), but I will need to wait another three, four, five years, or heck maybe a decade for a new one to release.

Anyways, I want to introduce a little project(or should I call it a summer project? I mean, its still summer break) that I have been doing to familiarize myself with Arduino, and robotics in general.

The project is about the color sensor of my robot. I apologize it is in Japanese, so I will translate it.

The one in the bottom, or below the red line says "Square."

The one in the left, or nexdt to the green line says "360 degree turn."

The one in the right, or next to the black line says "triangle."

Well, what are these lines and Square, 360 degree turn and triangle for? My plan is to make a program that senses the color that it is seeing through the color sensor, and moves(square, turn, triangle) depending on the color. (photo of our color sensor)

That means, if my robot touches/senses the color red, it will preform a move of a square. If it senses the color green, it will turn 360 degrees. If it senses the color black, it will preform a move if a triangle.

I already wrote the programs for all the movements, so the robot is capable of moving square, doing a 360 turn, and triangle. However, the color sensor that is used is, quite cheap and a bit old, so it may not preform well, which will hinder me from the project to be a success.

Now I just need to make a program where it does one of the three moves when sensing the colors of red, green or black.

Come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, because I will probably be done by then(I hope)!

Thanks for reading,
