Line 34: Line 101:
== Deliverables ==
 * Every week you will be given some tasks as '''individual''' homework. One of these tasks is obligatory and the result of this task must be delivered.
  * /!\ Deadline: 5 PM, the following Tuesday.
  * Zip the results(sketchbook, data files, images etc) all together into one single zip file, name it as follows:
  {{{
week<weeknumber>_<IDNR>.zip
}}}
  For example:
  {{{
week3_0732290.zip
}}}
  Once the file is uploaded, you will not be able to remove it or to change it. So please try to upload the latest version in one go. If by any chance you wish to update the submission, please make a new zip file, add `_v<version number>` to the file name. For example if you wish to send in a new version for `week3_0732290.zip`, name it as `week3_0732290_v2.zip`.
   * All letters in the name must be in lowercases.
   * Please use your IDNR (instead of the s number). If you don't know your IDNR, check it out in the [[attachment:Registration.xls|registration list]].
   * '''Using this naming scheme is important, or your submission will be ignored.'''. Also see [[http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/help/7050d809-c761-43d4-aae7-587550cd341a1033.mspx|Windows Help]] for how to zip and unzip files in Windows.
  * Upload the zip file to
   * [[https://dlwpswbsp.tue.nl/ID2010/338ba2ee2a7042e7bfb7d8bcbf11cda4/default.aspx|Studyweb]] ( You shall follow this link: https://dlwpswbsp.tue.nl/ID2010/338ba2ee2a7042e7bfb7d8bcbf11cda4/default.aspx)
   * '''For Study``Web to work, you'd better use Microsoft Internet Explorer'''.
   * '''Please login properly to upload your documents'''. If at home, you must use VPN.
 * Voluntary task: You are challenged to deliver a demonstration with the robot (if you prefer, and with visuals) to show what you have learned from the assignment, to show your capability of reading and understanding the documentations, and to show your creativity. (You'd better start earlier during the assignment, so that you can see it evolving, and get the help from other students, possibly as well as the student assistants):
  * You are expected to '''work in pairs'''.
  * No lectures will be given specially for the robot. You are challenged to read and understand the documentations. These documents are available on the assignment wiki.
  * If you manage to deliver such a demo, AdMoVeo must be used.
  * Examples of things (these are just examples!) you can do with AdMoVeo:
   * Let AdMoVeo dance with your hand.
   * Let AdMoVeo dance with music.
   * Let AdMoVeo follow a line.
   * Use AdMoVeo LEDs as disco lights
   * Let AdMoVeo follow a light.
   * Let AdMoVeo read a map and plot the map on the screen
   * … anything else not in this list. Check out AdMoVeo video clips on [[http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=AdMoVeo&search_type=&aq=f|YouTube]] for inspiration.
  * What you are expected to deliver: a word document to studyweb, named after {{{Robot_<IDNR>.doc}}} that contains
   * A link to a [[http://www.youtube.com|YouTube]] video that shows the behavior of the robot. The video must be titled as {{{CreaPro 2010 AdMoVeo: <your title> by <your name> and <your name>}}}. In the description you should briefly explain your creation.
   * The source code
  * Selected videos will be shown on the WallOfFame of the assignment and on [[http://AdMoVeo.nl|AdMoVeo.nl]]
  * You may show your demo as part of your exhibition, but you don’t have to. It is up to you.
