Up The Googly Path - Attempt #2

Updated: Feb 16

We're back together, and we're shouting at our robot again. Only this time it's way better:

  • We've got a new batch of overhauled voice code, thanks to James The Hatchett Matchett. It uses Azure for voice recognition instead of Google Cloudspeech, and seems to be working way better.

  • We've got a system that queues the recognisable commands (so if you say "forward forward left right forward" it can store and release them

  • We've got better response time between listening and sending the commands

  • We've added the Gyro sensor to keep our robot from drifting off track.

And, just to make sure we're not up to anything else...

  • We DO NOT HAVE a line sensor or colour sensor

  • We DO NOT HAVE a Pi camera

  • We DO NOT HAVE a bluetooth PS4 controller hooked up to this challenge

  • WE ARE ALL ABOUT THE VOICE

Our Voice Commands have been modified for even better accuracy:

  • "Forward": Go forward 30cm

  • "Fettuccine": Go forward 15cm

  • "Left": Turn left 20 degrees

  • "Lasagne": Turn left 10 degrees

  • "Right": Turn right 20 degrees

  • "Ratatouille": Turn right 10 degrees

And, for the big turns, we encoded the names of local politicians:

  • "Michelle O'Neill": leans to the left

  • "Arlene Foster": leans to the right

Instead of the terrible time of 4:46 we got last time, we got our time down to 2:00, then 1:45, then 1:30, and our best time of the day was 1:21.


We may submit this, but may try again if we meet up one more time.



And here's a photo of me playing Animal Restaurant.
