Long Beach Competition

World I would like to introduce you to SUNNY. Again. He competed Feb. 8, 2014 and I felt did awesome. We had two chances to get a better in the competition and sunny was not able to complete one, but he was really close the first time. He was able to get the the room and find the candle but his positioning was off and when he started the fan he was slightly off and not able to extinguish it. Sunny has a total of three sensors. 


First Sunny has a line sensor in his front side and the line sensor would let him know he was about to enter a room. Second is the Ultrasonic Sonar which is also in the front so that when he approached the candle he will know when to stop on continue advancing. Lastly Sunny has a Flame Sensor! Flame sensor is very cool and different from may other competitors, we placed the sensor on a servo motor and mounted it on the front of Sunny. Flame sensor detects heat and in our code we where able to find the angle from the servo and then have the bot position itself at the angle and proceed getting closer to it. 

Sunny has the smiley face next to it on the Competition score board.
