I think this project will be interesting due to its programming structure. It’s possible that another robot will later be placed at the output to sort the boxes sent by the first robot. Obviously, the position where the pallet exits must be memorized so that the other robot knows how the boxes arrive and can place each one in its corresponding output. This will be contribution 110. Now, the task is to optimize as fairly as possible within the capabilities offered by FactoryIO, preparing everything to complete the scene with the other robot.
I will do it little by little on my channel so that students can follow along:
Now we have the basic program tested and working without any uncontrolled combinations, and we’ve made the necessary adjustments to prevent the boxes from falling off the pallet. So far, it’s simple to do if you use the code shown in the first video of this project. You must have everything correct before continuing; otherwise, you’ll accumulate problems and it won’t work in the end. As always, I’ll be doing the project in phases, so from here on out, it will be a new project.
Two weeks, six downloads. How’s the programming for this scene coming along? Should I start preparing for the next phase?
Share your progress in the forum, even if it’s in stages (like I’m doing), so we can all learn from the discussion.
You don’t need to share code, since whoever does isn’t going to want to share their work for free, but I think it will at least encourage other students.
If the discussion gets interesting and productive, I can join in and comment on what you’re sharing.
Students won’t get another opportunity to learn. They’re given the scene, shown the way, given the tools, provided with the materials, the risk is eliminated, they’re guided along the way, and on top of that, there’s no strict schedule so they can dedicate as much time as they want, whenever and however they want. Honestly, if they’re not learning this way, they have a serious problem and should dedicate themselves to other things…
