Trixxie

Mechanical Issues & Improvements

Trixxie is a basic cube-shaped robot with two motors mounted on the front. The base has three layers in ascending order: a level for holding Trixxie's heavy batteries, a mid level for holding electronics and the laptop, and a top level on which a payload may sit.

Software Issues & Improvements

Most of the code this year was written by Ben, David, or Spencer. Much of this code was also inherited from the 2004-2005 year. There are notes on that code here: File:Notes on Ben's Code.pdf.

The code is stored in an SVN repository:

URL: svn://130.207.76.145/igvc
Username/Password: Talk to David, Spencer, or Michael to get one.

The following image sequences were taken on 10/08/2005 as test footage for creating vision algorithms.
