Following the puck's y-coordinate
Hi,
This week I have explored ways to defend the robot's goal. I have followed a tutorial to create a game using the turtle module on Python. The tutorial is a two-player pong game that uses keyboard keys to move the paddle. Click here to view the tutorial.
I have amended the tutorial to program the paddles to move autonomously.
The video above shows two softbots playing with each other. I programmed the paddles to follow the y-coordinates of the ball and move accordingly. Although, this is not trajectory prediction, it is a plausible solution to defend the robot's goal.
However, with all robotic systems in simulation and the physical world, I expect that the robot will not be able to move in relation to the speed of the ball. I have to explore a method to predict the location of the ball in the y-axis given an x-coordinate to avoid moving the robot when it is not needed.
