Programming

We have developed a piece of code that acts as a Motion Detector. If you take an ET sensor and place it onto a servo and have your robot stop for about 2 seconds, it will be able to detect if an object moved

We have now started the long and boring task of calibrating all of the sensors. We are going to test every single one of them and write the results down and label all of the sensors. We are also going to calibrate the servos are discover their individual limits.

We are currently working on a positioning system that would be able to use Back-EMF to tell the robot accuratly where it is located on the game board. This would not only make sure that it does not travel into the opponent's zone during the first 30 seconds, but could also help it move around the board to pre-deteremined locations, such as the bins or the supply shelf.
