Scribblers
By Michael Borke
Outline1. Scribbler Strengths and Weaknesses2. Easiest things to do with it3. Coolest things it can do4. What I bring to the team (My “Secret
Weapon”)5. Things Scribby can’t do yet6. Summary
Scribbler Strengths Many different ways to interact and
sense the environment Can give feedback with beeps, lights
and movement Mobile and wireless Very simple tool kit, yet with the
potential for so much
Scribbler Weaknesses CANNOT be given a program to run
independent of the Fluke Bluetooth connection Bluetooth is slow
Robots aren’t perfect Needs a lot of calibration/pampering
Easiest Movement Simple behaviors Singing Songs Can draw Simple image processing
Coolest Many sensors = Potential for complex
behavior Could create a Tron type game using the line
sensor and drawing capabilities Using image processing and maze navigation
to make two Scribblers play “Hide and Seek” Controlling one with your phone via
Bluetooth Use network connection and multiple
Scribblers
Personal Traits Down to EARTH, realistic
FIERY passion to succeed, will never give up
Motivator, like WIND to a sail
Like WATER, goes with the flow and keeps the big picture in mind
A LOVE for learning
SECRET WEAPON
Hardest/Wish List Ability to download instructions to the
Scribbler via the Fluke
More accurate sensing, or at least easier to calibrate sensors
Wi-Fi connection to the Scribbler, for faster reaction and longer range At the cost of extra battery usage
