TRIZ ANALYSIS
4.0 Result and findings from trial run
Based on the outcome of the trial run battle, we only used two motors, hence
our robot does not have enough power to overcome obstacles. Although our
group received all of the test's scores, we are not impressed with our robot's
performance.
4.1 Problems identified from the trial run.
1) Cannot push away obstacles easily.
- The low torque on the supplied motor causes our prototype to not
have enough power to push away obstacles at battle arena.
Engineering Contradiction
IF we use 4 motors,
THEN robot can push away obstacle,
BUT the robot can produce the vibration.
POSITIVE
NEGATIVE
Robot can push away the obstacle.
Robot can produce the vibration.
