BEST Robotics Simulator

Team: 32

School: Deming High

Area of Science: Robotics

Interim: Proposal
1. what the problem is, the definition of the problem
2. why it is important, the purpose of the project or what results you hope to get
3. how you plan to work on it, plan of action or methods you hope to get.

1. To design a game simulation to increase Deming High Schools competitiveness in the BEST Robotics Tournament.
2. To develop a computer simulation of the BEST Robotics game that would allow virtual robots to be designed and tested. The purpose of this is to select the most significant characteristics to allow for the most competitive design. Once complete, the game would be used in our team’s trade show booth to attract “customers”.
3. Start with a simple design using netlogo. And build as our understanding of programming increases.


Interim Report
1. the definition of the problem,
2. your plan for solving the problem computationally,
3. a description of the progress you have made up to this time,
4. the results you expect to get,
5. and at least five citations of information you have referenced.
1. Design an BEST Robotics game simulation.
2. The dynamics of the robots will be governed by the laws of physics. These will come directly from equations.
3. Only a small amount or progress. The team members are all still learning the basics of computer programming and how to use netlogo.
4. By the end of March, we except to have a basic working 2-d game simulation.
