LAST WEEK OF OUR DEGREE.......!!!!!!!

Hi guys!

Seems like it was yesterday when I crossed school´s main door for the very first time..., from then onwards and within the first year, I have suffered like a bull on the plaza, but I have also enjoyed like a kid.

Regarding to the second year, our team has enjoyed a lot and comparing with the first one..., still suffering a little bit ;-), but still working a lot (specially after school´s time table).

One thing it really has work it out fine, is the fact of havin two members on their 40s and two members on their 20s, this has given a perfect harmony to the team.
Apart from that, I must admit that compensation has been the key point at the time to work the different challenges, we have deal nicely every single task (of course there has been nothing for free).

Having a look to above´s photo, After this two years, no doubt, there will be many moments all of us will keep in our memories for the rest of our life; people we´ve met, subjetcs we´ve learnt and for sure, every day´s  10am "Tea Break" (we´ll miss that coffee).

From now onwards, it will really be a challenge to find a job (I´m quite concern about it...), but we´ll do our best.

For the last week, all the teams are facing the last exam, scary no doubt... Some of us will have a recovery exam (as we did not pass it at first instance), hope we´ll do it at the second chance.
In the oder hand we´ve been given an extra week to finish our challanges in case of being unfinished...

After, early in march we´ll see ourselves involved in the final project. At this stage we´ll have new team mates to work out the challenge and it will be June when the "Graduation Day" will take place...,

after we´ll join a few pints

To finish, we´d like to thank everybody for being so nice to us, our class mates but specially the lecturers, Thanks for your patience... :-)

Hope to meet you all sometime, somewhere!

STRIKE AND EXAM

We continue with the strike in the center, but not for long, this Friday is the last day of the strike and on Monday we have an exam, hopefully it works out well since we only have 2 challenges left and we do not want to spoil the course now.

During the strike we were advancing the last challenge of the course hoping that we had time to finish since this model is a chaos, I leave a photo for you to see.

This model that you see in the photo consists in that from a warehouse of pieces that are disorganized, by means of a cylinder it takes out a piece and later an arm with a suction cup takes it to an elevator where with the help of 3 detectors it detects if the piece is orange, black or silver, the arm returns to its position so that the elevator can climb and using a scale measures the piece to know if it is small, medium or large, in our case the good ones are the medium ones, in case of a bad piece the elevator goes down again and throws it to waste.
If it is good, continue up and take it to a conveyor belt that takes it to a turntable where it will be displaced so that first a drill makes a hole, in the next position it will make a stamp and when it reaches the last position a crane with a cylinder and a suction cup will take it to its proper storage.

We have also had to make an HMI screen, to be able to act from the screen and visualize the whole model.
I leave you a picture of an example of model 2, which we have drawn using squares, circles and ellipses.

5th week

 

Greetings to the friends of ROBOTOKER:

     Last week we finished the last challenge called “Comunications”, we delivered our team project to teachers but we must do the exam that corresponds next day 28 because of teachers strike. The current week we started this new challenge without teachers help so God bless us!!!

     The last and this new challenge we develop another programming language called Graphcet. So far we have always programmed by KOP or ST languages.

     KOP is the most popular programming language because is very easy to learn and it shows you the conditions and the sentences very clear:

                       

            

         Firsteable you write the conditions (open or closed contacts) and then the sentence that must be execute: ( ) ”motor”, run the engine for examle.

     The ST (Structured Text) programming language is composed of certain words that form phrases wich conform the instructions:

                          

     Graphcet, the new programming language we have learn, looks like a chain. Each link in the chain means the sentence and between the links we write the conditions. The links are called Steps:

           

  

       Once we have improved our skills programming Graphcet is a very good language to avoid programming mistakes because of its simplicity: will not pass to the next stage until the intermediate condition is met.

We are very busy as we dont have teachers because they are in strike.
We are doing a challenge, it  has 4 differenet challenges in it, and every menber has to do his challenge.
