Specifications
This well-balanced IR ball contains 20 infrared LEDs, ensuring full signal coverage for robotics applications. It can operate in unmodulated mode to comply with RoboCup Junior Australia requirements or in one of three pulsed modes, allowing detection at distances of up to 5 metres. The pulse-modulated IR signals improve detection in challenging lighting conditions. This ball pairs perfectly with the HiTechnic IRSeeker Sensor, which is tuned to its signals.
Why this product is beneficial for educational use:
- Enhances robotics competitions by providing a reliable IR signal source.
- Supports multiple signal modes to accommodate different competition rules.
- Improves robot sensing and navigation in varied lighting conditions.
- Compatible with IR-seeking sensors for advanced programming challenges.
- Encourages teamwork and strategic problem-solving in RCJA competitions.
- Built for durability, ensuring long-lasting use in classroom environments.
Classroom ideas for incorporating this product:
- Simulate real-world robotics competition scenarios.
- Object tracking exercises: Teach robots to detect and follow an IR-emitting object.
- Custom Robo challenges: Create obstacle courses where robots track the ball.
- IR sensor calibration: Adjust sensors for improved accuracy in detection.
- Team-based robotics games: Develop strategic activities using multiple robots and the IR ball.
Product specifications:
- Diameter: 75mm
- Infrared LEDs: 20 for full signal coverage
- Modes: Unmodulated and 3 pulsed signal modes
