OpenMV

We used OpenMV camera to detect the two type of evacuation zones , green and red , when our robot detects the Evacuation Zone , it goes backward a little so it can raise its arm so its OpenMV can see a good amount of the evacuation zones color. 

For recognizing colors we made four color ranges and named them "LAB", two for green and two for red. one of them is for shadow light environment , and the other is for normal light environment, so it can detect the color correctly in any conditions. When our robot detects the Evacuation Zone it try's all of the four color ranges to understand witch Evacuation Zone it is. also we set them in a way that in any light environment they work.

As we said in the OpenMV Electronic Blog our connector witch we used to connect OpenMV to our Sensor Board has three digital pins , so it will have eight different modes (2³) but we only used three of them , Red , Green , and nothing.

Obstacle

we recognize the obstacle with the distance meter (ultrasonic) or the microswitch that is in front of the robot, after the detection: If the robot detects the obstacle with the distance meter it will: 1-goes backward , 2-turns 90 degrees , 3-goes straight for a bit , 4-turns 45 degrees If the robot detects the obstacle with its microswitch's it will: 1- if the left microswitch hits the obstacle it will goes leftward until the distance meter sensor detects the obstacle.   2- if the right microswitch hits the obstacle it will goes rightward until the distance meter sensor detects the obstacle.

Ramp

 We used some functions and variables for ramp detection such as: Two line following function on the uphill and downhill with a important variable named "time slow". Robot will detect the ramp using gyroscope , if its angel is above or equal 25 degrees it will detect the ramp and it will lower it arms and boosts itself and also it will speed up, after going trough the ramp when its angel is zero degrees it will lower its speed and goes back to the normal mode. and because after any uphill ramp a downhill ramp exists with using time slow variable it will lower its line following speed so it can go down form a downward ramp correctly. Also our wheels helps our robot to go up the ramp using double friction.
