This is a Lego robot we are working on in a team of 4, in the course teambased interaction. Link to the repository containing the source code. Project is done in GitLab, but I had to upload code to my own GitHub repo, to be able to share it.
I have learned a lot during the time I have been a part of this project. This is the first time I have worked on something like this, together with other people. We have built the robot physically and programmed the motors, sensors, buttons etc. We have had 4 different tasks to accomplish together. It has been challenging both technically and organizationally, but also fun and interesting.
I have learned more about how to work in a team, I have seen how other people behave in a group, and how positive it can be to work on something together. Seeing the power of how different people and brains can create something together, has been really fascinating. Technology wise I have learned more about how you can use programming languages to instruct physical objects, and how to use libraries such as EV3 micropython.
We have worked with a flat leadership structure, in which my role has really been the same as the others in the group. I have written a lot of code, built the robot and debugged, just like the other members of the group. This project has given me a lot of experience when it comes to teamwork, how to work together and how to handle situations together.
Summed up I have learned more about teamwork in this kind of setting, and I have learned more about how robotics work on a high-level. I think the team-aspect is very valueable in an overall work context, and can be used in many different areas. The programming-aspect is maybe a bit more limited to some fields, but the problem solving skills I obtain can be translated to many different areas.
This is an example of how we have utilized an issue board to keep track of issues and things we have to get done. I find this a very good experience to have, because it will make it easier to collaborate with other people and teams effectively throughout my career.
