ENGR 111 (Sec. XXX) SEMESTER 200X

Project 2 – Demo/Final Report

Project 2 will constitute 10% of your final course grade. It consists of three major tasks: Preliminary Report (20%, see previous handout) Construction and demonstration of robot (40%) (DUE: July 3, 2002) Final Report (40%) (DUE: July 8, 2002)

Construction and Demonstration

The construction and demonstration of the stiquito will constitute 40% of the project 2 grade. Before the demonstration of the robot, your team will have no more than 3 minutes to tell the class what makes your robot different from the robot built in the book. EACH MEMBER OF YOU TEAM IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS ORAL PRESENTATION. Your robot and presentation will be evaluated on:

Creativity and originality Aesthetics Construction quality Distance traveled over a 3 minute period Ability to walk in a straight line Effective use of manual controller to walk the robot (evidence of practice) Effectiveness of oral presentation Section and team number clearly visible on robot

Note: Deductions will be made if any of the wires burn during the walk. Also, there is no minimum distance that needs to be met. Walk your best, distance will be evaluated with respect to your classmates.

Final Report

The final report will constitute 40% of your project 2 grade. Shown below are guidelines and grading criteria to help you prepare your report.

Overall Is well-organized into logical, separate report sections Uses a clear system of highlighted headings to identify sections Clear and concise Includes a Table of Contents which reference the sections Content Begins with a clear introductory section (problem statement) Thoroughly reviews the methods by which the product (the robot) was developed - brainstorming, refinement, decision processes Documents the force/moment calculations Discussion of this robot in relation to other walking objects (animals/insects) Discusses (analyzes) the robot’s performance, indicating strengths and weaknesses and comparing expected results to actual results Includes a written summary of oral presentation Includes any conclusions or implications drawn from the work

Writing Style  Uses clear sentences with active wording,  Uses well-structured paragraphs  Is consistent in style and flows well (doesn't sound like it was written by four different authors)  Uses general audience terms where possible and appropriate (no unnecessarily complex writing) No errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation

Graphics 3-view construction sketches of your robot, as well as detail drawings of important joints, connectors, etc. Must be titled and labeled (e.g. Figure 1: Orthographic Views) Must be referenced in the text and explained as needed

Final Report Grading Criteria Overall: It is well-organized into logical sections using a clear system of highlighted headings to identify sections. It is clear and concise and includes a binder and numbered pages. You should use 12-point font size and double space. Content: Title Sheet, Table of Contents, List of variables/symbols, Introduction, methodology, analytical calculations, written summary of oral presentation, results, robot’s performance, and conclusions. Writing Style: Uses clear sentences with active wording. Uses well-structured paragraphs. It is consistent in style and flows well (doesn’t sound like it was written by four different authors). Uses general audience terms where possible and appropriate (no unnecessary complex writing). No errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Graphics: Must be titled and labeled (e.g., Figure 1: Orthographic Views). Must be referenced in the text and explained as needed.
