We got to see other people's wheelchair's and defenders today. While all seemed to mostly work, some were more impressive than others. Specifically the only group that decided to brave the ramp did as good a job as possible with the not-so-accurate light sensors. The main reason I mention them is because our defender was able to stop them on the ramp with the reaching arm. Of course, the defender required a bit of modifying (wheel counter-balances removed and used as stilts, and the tread removed), but it worked in stopping them.
All in all our robots were successful. The code posted below is not the final code, as we made a few tweaks to the navigating code and the steering check code, but it shows the direction that we were going. The final code is stuck on the engineering computer which we were unable to get to. The code posted below also did not parse well since blogger uses HTML code to enter the posts, so some of it got parsed. Most of it is there though.
It was sad to see our robot go, but we'll have a video up of it navigating the course soon enough.
Here's to a great year in Engineering 100.
(P.S. We'd like to give a special thanks to Snapple!)
