Engineering H193 - Team Project
This Week
• Wednesday
– Documenting the Robot Electrical Systems
– Work day
• Friday – Robot Performance Test Four – Set robot for side,
Read the start signal from the LED, go to patient’s IR
task beacon, activate patient task switch, read task,
go up the ramp or stairs, go to mailbox and stop in
front of mailbox, print “Mailbox” on display at mailbox
• Testing Time - Need to keep track of testing time on the
robot course - 10 minute increments

Data Analysis and Presentation
• Data generally is available in tables
– Tables are necessary for many types of data BUT
– They can be Hard to Read and Understand
– When used, they should include
• Appropriate Title, Column Headings, Units
• Use spreadsheet or word processor
• Read from right or bottom of page
• Graphs provide easier understanding of data
• Your team may want to use both

Data Analysis and Presentation
• Spreadsheet graphs are one place to start
– Don’t trust them to give good graphs
• Format for Graphs
– Appropriate Grid
– Even numbers on Grid, Highest # greater than max
data point
– Title and axis labels (labels need units)
– Multiple plots need different symbols - legend
– Use smooth curve when data points fit equation
– Use points connected with straight lines when there
is no equation that relates the independent and
dependent variables

Data Analysis and Presentation
• Possible Graphs and Charts used in Final Report and
Oral Report
– Pie chart to show cost breakdown
– Pie chart to show man-hours breakdown
– x-y chart to show motor performance curve and
where robot operated
– x-y chart to show power/torque/forces required to
pick and pick up
– x-y chart to show track testing vs. project time
– Design schedule
• Find examples in your Engineering Graphics book.
