For example, it is highly unlikely that all student machineswould download or upload slides simultaneously, as in Test 1 and 5. Test 3 provided worst casescenarios of CP3’s real-time broadcast implementation. From Table 1 in the Appendix, we seethat the students’ machines took four additional seconds to display all vertical ink strokes duringTest 3A, and three additional seconds to display a continuous line during Test 3B. Feedbackfrom students indicated that this was a very much worst-case situation which only occurred onless than 5% of the student client machines. Most students

‘depth-averaged’ model.However major subsequent contributions to the subject matter took place during the 1960’s,wherein ‘variable-depth’ models were introduced. Let us consider for example, the potential flow over a horizontal bed. Let us consider a three-dimensional space with co-ordinates, x, y, z. However, for this example let us consider only the two dimensional plane x and z. If h is the mean water depth, and z is the vertical coordinate, then z = – h. One can arrive at a Taylor Expansion of the velocity potential η∀(x,z,t) around the bed level, z = – h. Page 15.214.3 Assume that u is the

The Systems Engineer put considerable work into a computer aided design of thephysical structure of the robot, shown in Figure 1, including redesigning and personallyfabricating the legs to make them lighter than those created by the independent study team. Hisdesign was solid and went above the requirements, developing a motorized system to raise theprimary distance sensor (a laser rangefinder) from the top of R2’s head. Figure 1.

A Honeywell Experion DCS system was purchased forthis purpose. This DCS system is much less bulky than its predecessor, the TDC3000, whichuses predominantly 10base5 cable with BNC connectors, and is commonly found in manyrefineries and chemical plants. A major factor contributing to this reduction in bulkiness is theHoneywell Experion’s use of CAT5 Ethernet cable in place of the TDC3000’s bulky and stiff10base5 coaxial cable connectors, which allows this system to be implemented using equipmentfound in a typical campus computer lab.

This was accomplished by interrupting the robotexecution of the script, removing ball(s) from the environment, and then informing the script ofthe fault. This need to create a fault was due to the conservative behavior of the robot. Thisbehavior was necessary due to hardware limitations such as a limited accuracy of the visionsystem, and communication delays.
