Week 4 Monday 4/18/2011

Today was the test for our robot to follow a line with gaps. We designed our robot to turn slightly left when a button was pushed to be able to jump the gaps. At first we were having some trouble with the threshold value for the light sensor as it changes everytime were in a new room. Once we got that worked out it worked perfectly.

We played around a bit trying to see how fast we could go without failure. Then it came to test time; We did pretty good got 2nd fastest timing!

Then we started work on the catapult. We played around with making a really long arm, then applying a gear ratio to it to try and get it to swing faster.
