3. WHAT NEXT?*Challenge! |
Before we begin, take a look at the picture of the spin wheel to get a better understanding of the different parts of this spin wheel.
1. HARDWARE
Let's make it!
We are going to follow the steps in this tutorial to assemble our gaming bot. Look carefully into each of the images and follow the instructions one by one to make this Spin wheel gaming bot. The colour of the blocks and parts used in the construction might differ from original, So carefully follow the instruction given below.
1.1 What do we need ?
Given below are the materials required to build the Spin wheel bot.
1.2 How is it made ?
Follow the steps carefully to build the Spin wheel Robot.
1. Place the 15 by 11 block on a flat surface. This block will serve as the base for building the spin wheel on top of it.
2. Attach an 11 by 7 block to the 15 by 11 block using two 90-degree pegs, as shown in the image. This will form the frame for building the spin wheel.
3. Take the pin connector and attach it to the 11 by 7 block as shown in the image. This will allow you to connect the motor to the structure.
4. Attach two friction pegs to the motor.
5. Connect the motor to the pin connector, as shown in the image.
6. Once the setup is ready, carefully attach axle 5 to the motor. This creates an extension for mounting the wheel onto it.
7. Attach a beam 15 at the bottom of the 11 by 7 blocks using two pegs, as shown in the image. This will enable you to connect the spin pointer to the spin wheel.
8. Attach a full bush to axle 5, as shown in the image.
9. Attach the wheel to the axle, and then add another full bush to secure the wheel in place.
10. Connect a beam 5 to the 11 by 7 block using one friction peg. This Beam 5 will now serve as the spin pointer for the spin wheel.
11. Take a 1 by 6 brick with holes, insert two pegs into it, and then attach it to the 15 by 7 block, as shown in the image.
12. Next, connect the Roboki on top of the 1 by 6 brick as shown in the image.
13. Now, we have to connect the motor to the Roboki. Ensure the motor's port connector is properly connected to the corresponding motor pins on the Roboki, as shown in the image. It's important to remember the specific port the motor is connected to, as you'll need to program it accordingly in code Part.
2. SOFTWARE
2.1 Let's Code it!
Now that the design of our Bot is ready, we need to programme it using PLODE to make a spin wheel. Follow the step by step instruction in the video given below to programme our bot.
3. What Next?
Challenge !
Modify the system to rotate the spin wheel in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Implement one switch for clockwise rotation and another switch for counterclockwise rotation
