During our Monday and Wednesday meetings at 7pm (uMouse Calendar Link), we will be taking some time to decide on what products we should purchase.
Chris had suggested some products earlier this week:
- LED Module
- More Full Kits
- http://www.robotstorehk.com/micromouse/RS-CRUISER.HTML
- http://www.active-robots.com/robots/robot-kits-1/airat-ii-micromouse-robot.html
- Inexpensive Chassis from another bot
- Arduino based Kit
- Sensor Kit
If anyone would like to comment on these suggestions or make some new suggestions, please feel free to do so. We hope to make purchases such as these as early as next week.
(2) - Kit Completion
The robotics kit build is still underway at the soldering bench. Hopefully once this is done, new ideas for our home-brew Micromouse will surface.
(3) - Electronics Hardware & Software Challenge
Since we began writing the code for the Arduino platform, we have started to discover new challenges with incorporating both the live path-finding algorithm and using the basic environment understanding in order to keep the bot between two walls without hitting anything.
The code that we obtained from the PicAxe as well as the manual on how the PicAxe works must be broken down starting this week so that we may gain some ideas on how this challenge may be resolved on the Arduino platform.
(4) - T-Shirts
Last meeting, many members gave their ideas on what should go on the new T-Shirts. If anyone has any new ideas, sketches, or anything else to contribute, do not hesitate to either email Chris or myself or simply bring your idea to the next meeting you are able to attend.
This week should be a productive one!
