The Blocks

Steering and moving is an important aspect to take into account especially if the robot will have to fight other robots. Lucky the V3 robots are pretty good with turning and and executing commands. The medium motor works nicely considering the weight of the bot itself and is able to move the bot quickly to the task at hand. The sound does get a bit annoying but supposedly there is a way to mute it. The display, although simple, becomes tedious especially when having to type names into it. On the other hand it is very easy to navigate through.

Ploting





To present the graphs we would divide everything into increments of 2 for weight and 10 for time. At 30 minutes we replaced the bag which reset the graph back down to 0 to then continue adding food.

Initial Analytics 

In the beginning we saw a steady growth of food being wasted with all in all a steady pattern of people coming. At 30 minutes 66 people came and there was about 15 and a half pounds of food waste, which does not seem like a lot but it is.

63s Analytics


Waste

The data we are looking to aim for would be product waste, waste management, and waste management efficiency. Knowing the layout and operation at 63s, we see that trying to discover the consumer perspective on the leftover food that is discarded and how it is discarded from this food resource on campus.




Strategy

Waste food will be collected instead of taking to kitchen cleaners, will be emptied into bucket and weighed to see the amount of food wasted over the course of an hour. Data will be collected periodically every 5 minutes. We will be collecting data on weight of the food, used plates, and people over time.
