2/3/14 Update

Progress
  • Purchased the battery and charger
  • http://www.all-battery.com/111volt-3000mahli-polypack.aspx

  • The sample code for the start button that Carlo found didn't work properly; asking Senior Design teams how they did it later in the week
  • Michael and Luke started working on the IR sensor testing
  • Alan, Hunter, and Tan started working on the maze mapping/search the maze for wall information function
More Senior Design questions for Wednesday:
  • When making a fake maze: how to populate the 16x16 array with our fake information for the squares; this information may also be used for the maze mapping part of the code.
  • How to change from one spot in the array to the next spot. The original idea was to increment/decrement the x or y coordinate, but the array already has a "coordinate" system, so we want to use that one instead. 
Aggieland Saturday (2/15/14)
We are requested to have a demo of the robot. Since it cannot map the maze yet, possibly have the robot move in a set pathway and not use the sensors.

  1. That's awesome that you'll have a demo at Aggieland Saturday!

    What does the robot look like, do you have any pictures?
