The brain behind the physical design and the critical aspects of the functioning. Being a robotic coach, brought all those experience into the project. Took important decision on the sensors and motors positioning which enabled the smooth design. Also Implemented the idea of differential Steering which was the reason of successful mechanism to kick the ball. Headed the coding with writing the skeletons for sensor and motor set ups of the robot and was the mind behind the successful ultrasonic mechanism to identify objects.
As the architect and the content writer of the website, had to understand every aspect of the project, irrespective of task assignment and try to explain it as simple as possible on the website. In coding perspective, he assisted on the object shape identification tasks for the Tests and the competition and assisted in writing multiple functions for the location. In addition, wrote contingency codes for returning to home location and restricted movements to the location of the ball.
Prince assisted in the alternate identification function and also worked on the creation of thread as the main code for bringing the functions together so as to enable all the functions to run parallely in the competition. There were any challenges to be solved such as the robot going around each object to accurately define the shape and reducing the turning angles for accuracy. Additionally, he handled the connection to server part of the competition.
The task of reporting the precise locations of the objects in the stadium was no one -man’s job. Jean was responsible for handling the position related aspects of the project. Additionally, he worked on avoidance of the obstacles and enabling the accurate movement of the robot to be able to detect position of an obstacle while avoiding it carefully at the same time. This proved to be the most complex part but Jean was persistent and wrote multiple functions in this regard to achieve the objective
