Conductivity Test
In order to detect the presence of conductors,the simplest test is the Conductivity Test. Conductivity of a substance is defined as ‘the ability or power to conduct or transmit heat, electricity or sound’. Here what we use is the ability to transmit electricity. When an electrical potential difference is placed across a [...]

Objective:
This is an extremely simplistic, yet interesting application using the i-Mach kit to make something that can do real and useful work. The basic aim of this task is to build and program an autonomous robot that can detect objects within its surrounding environment and having detected the object, [...]

How cool would it be if u could upgrade your i-MACH by adding basic mechano parts and some brains into complex robots! Here i would be teaching (or rather guiding) you to build one yourself.
Bull Dozer
Now, let’s take a step forward and build an autonomous Bull Dozer! Let me [...]

Consider a grid, we want the robot to move from one corner of the grid to another. The most important part of being able to do so would be to detect a junction. Let us see if we can do this…
Here is what the grid looks like:

The first thing that strikes me is that [...]

Photovore is a robot that moves towards bright light.

Here we will be making a photovore using the iPitara kit. We will need a “Light Sensor” for making this. To make a light sensor we will use something called LDR or a Light Dependant Resistance.

It is basically a resistance, but this resistance changes with change in [...]

Work Done by – Pranav Ramkrishnan, Std.12th
Objective:
This is a slightly more complicated application of the i-Mach kit. The main aim of this robot is to travel a designated path, detect an obstacle, pick it up and then bring it back to the starting position. The robot must be made so that the object is lifted [...]

Files needed for the installation
Browse through the CD that has been provided with the i-MACH kit.
For installation on windows, locate the setup file which would be available at the location /CiMPLE_Installation/windows/cimple_setup.exe
You can even download the same setup from the link http://triindia.co.in/download/cimple_setup.exe

 
Getting Started: Pre-installation checklist
For windows

1. Remember, when building sumo-bots, the goal is to have fun. If you lose sight of this fact, you might end up giving up on a sumo-bot project if problems and frustration occur.
2. No sumo-bot is perfect; this means that sumo-bots that I make and that you make will have “problems” or “weak-spots.” But [...]
