Mobot report guidelines

The final report is an individual report - independently written by each person. The report should
be submitted as a single PDF file. Your InteractiveC program code must be included in an
appendix.
Each report must have an official school continuous assessment cover page.
The recommended length for the report is approximately 10 typed A4 pages. This should include
diagrams and photographs where appropriate. Your IC code for your robot should be included in
an Appendix. The report must be divided into numbered sections and subsections, with suitable
headings, for example:
1. Introduction
2. Development
2.1 The HandyBoard
2.2 Lego Chassis Design
2.2.1 Gearing Ratios
and so on.
The overall format must include the following major sections (the approximate mark allocation,
from the total 40% for the report, is shown in brackets):
1. Introduction (3%)
This should briefly outline the project as it was originally presented to you. This should
encapsulate your understanding of the project and its objectives and not just a re-statement of
these notes!
2. Development (15%)
This should record your team's experience in developing your robot and how you worked
together. It might have subsections for the HandyBoard, the motor arrangement, the sensors, the
software etc. It should clearly present the specific problems you encountered, and what
measures you took to overcome them--and should clearly state whether problems were, in fact,
solved. You discuss the final status of your robot. This should clearly explain the extent to which
your robot finally met the requirements of the project. Avoid wild or sweeping statements (``it
worked flawlessly''). Just confine yourself to specifying what tests of the overall functionality you
carried out, and and what the results of such tests were. This is where you can reflect on your

contribution to the team's efforts.


3. Conclusions and Recommendations (5%)
This should be a short section presenting 3-5 concluding remarks or recommendations--either
directed at the organisers of the module, or future students. These may be positive or negative,
but should be supported by the discussions presented earlier in the report.
4. Bibliography (2%)
This should provide references to any books, articles etc., which you found useful in carrying out
the project. The information provided should be sufficient for any interested reader to locate a
copy of the original document. References to online materials should include a URL. Each entry
in the bibliography should be numbered. References to entries in the bibliography may appear in
the body of your report using these numbers enclosed in square brackets (e.g., ``See [6,9] for
more information on battery technologies and capacity.'').
Note carefully that your report must not contain significant material directly copied, or
paraphrased, from the HandyBoard manual, or the online notes, or any other publication. Where
appropriate, simply refer to these publications (including them in your bibliography), without any
need for extensive quotation.
5. Software (10%)
As already noted, software listings should be included as attachment(s) to the report. 10% of the
overall marks will be awarded for these. Criteria here will include such things as whether the code
is appropriate, intelligible, consistently indented, uses relevant variable and function names, etc.
6. Presentation (5%)
The final 5% of the marks will be awarded for the overall presentation of the report. The
presentation must be professional--i.e., demonstrating a satisfactory standard of grammar,
punctuation, spelling, etc. Avoid excessive informality, such as slang words etc. Ensure that any
technical terms you use are appropriate to the context.
