Robot Crafter?

To this blog I continue with the second part of the Robotics Course. For the second leason was about how programing the robot. This time we needed group candle of the floor and when we had a moderately big the robot go back and take other way ramdon.

To the programming I decided use the reactive model, this means use the robot with out save values in memory while is running. I thought this was the best option because the robot needed check fast if a wall is in front of it. When I was the first test, this was better than I thought, but I saw that sometimes the robot could not detect when it were full candles. To solve this problem the best way was program using the hierarchical model, because on this form I could create a pivoting to reagroup the candles to detect it  the machine. At the final I choose the reactive model, but I changged the frame of the machine.
If I was choose the hierarchical model the robot went to hit with anything, and this was going to put on risk the robot.
I think that program a machine has the same rules to make a computer program, we can not get what we want.

To this week I was helping to Macho on Wappo app, this app is on Swift and the IDE is Xcode. I think that this is a powerful languaje OO with soft typing and a code easy to understand. But I really unlike that get much resources of the computer and I only can program on MAC computer.

About on my experience on programming was interesting and careful (The best DD ever) and working with Macho was surprising, he is too fast programming.
