Robot Competition

Well we completed the competition today. Our robot navigated the course with ease until it reached the defenders which snagged our robot both times. Overall I'd call it a success though since I didn't see any other group get past the defenders. The program worked exactly like it was supposed to, and was even off a little bit from where it should have been but still managed to navigate the course. This shows the robustness of the robot.

The steering calibration worked perfectly and there were no problems with getting stuck (steering or wheels).

We also got to test our car which, as I would've imagined (because the program was so simple), worked fine and didn't stop on the crosswalk. We didn't have a chance to test our defender because everyone kept needing to replace their batteries so we ran out of time, but we'll do that tomorrow.
