Programming Practice
- Using your completed VEX platform you will program your kit to successfully demonstrate all the steps listed in the attached document.
Due:
Assignment
VEX Project - Bump Switch
- You will need to have a complete platform with VEX Cortex, Motor Assembly, Bump Switch & Battery all mounted to the platform.
- Make sure to configure your "platform type" and "communication mode" correctly.
- You will then use the Bumper & Limit switch sample program folder in RobotC and configure ONE of the 3 sample programs and have it work on your platform.
- When you feel you are ready to explain how your program AND code work, please write your name on the board. After demonstration of program, the instructor will sign off your code.
Details of getting signed off. You will need to explain the following:
- How you setup the assignment of motor and sensor port numbers.
- The naming of the motor and the sensor, both in setup and in the program. (names should match which is case sensitive as well)
- Comments MUST match what you have written in your program. (sensor & motor names, ports used, power values, etc...)
- Which line of code is the first to execute in your program once you click "start".
- The wait1Msec() command and how it works.
- How the while loop works and how the condition(s) executes.
- what it does when the condition is false and where it executes next.
- what it does when the condition is true and where it executes next.
- Power value of the motor and the direction it is going to spin.
- WHY THE MOTOR TURNS OFF!! This one is tricky!
Notebooks are due TODAY
- need to have dated logs in your notebook along with picture for any day of building.
- there should also be logs for any day(s) of any programming or lab work. (no pictures necessary for actual programming)
- need to have a print out of your RobotC code, as per instructions.
Due:
Assignment
Motor Assembly/Build Assembly
- Every student should be working on putting together their motor assembly. Follow the instructions and using the pictures provided in the included document (Motor assembly.doc)
- All students can also attach provided components onto the build platform.
- Everything should be stored into their locker
No Cortex Brains be assigned to any without a lock (Wednesday 2/14)

VEX Compound Gear Train
THIS IS A NEW CHAPTER - Start your logs on the right hand side on a blank page.
STEP 1 - Take apart your simple gear train and start to configure your compound gear train.
Note: you do not need to take it apart completely.
STEP 2 - Now decide how you want to configure your gear train. NOT every gear combination will physically work! You should figure this out before securing your gears onto your angle rails.
STEP 3 - Start to install your gears. Use the document "Compound Configuration" document.
STEP 4 - Do your daily log! I suggest you write logs as you work, NOT after you're done building for the day. DON'T FORGET TO RESERVE SPACE FOR YOUR PICTURE!
YOU MUST GET YOUR GEAR TRAIN CHECKED BY THE TEACHER
After you have been checked off, use the document "Compound Gear Train Calculations" and answer all questions from the document into your Engineering notebook.

Assignment
VEX Simple Gear Train
THIS IS A NEW CHAPTER - Start your logs on the right hand side on a blank page.
STEP 1 - Using the document "NAME OF PARTS USED", count & verify that you have all supplied parts from the cup.
STEP 2 - Lay out all your parts on the table and take a picture. This will be inserted into your notebook with your daily log. Don't forget there's a minimum picture size!
STEP 3 - Using the document "SIMPLE GEAR TRAIN PICTURES", construct your simple gear train. IMPORTANT: you choose the order of your gears!
STEP 4 - Do your daily log! DON'T FORGET TO RESERVE SPACE FOR YOUR PICTURE!
