Code Frozen
To Do:
Hardware
- Create tribble skirt around the cup grabber
- line followers 1) cliff following (navigation of the bridge) 2) regular line following (know when the bridge has ended)
- brakes for staying in the opponents shelter
- 180 degree sweep arm to sweep tribble and umbrella at stage one
- nothing to stick or get caught on the tape
- modify brakes to go around a blue cup
Software
- be very fast
- finish project X code
- todo: rotate, thenput in code from beginning to find bridge line
Done:
- 3/28/08
- Wheel guards installed
- 3/29/08
- Strengthened the front arm
- Improved the ramp
- 4/4/08
- finished the skeleton for the state machine
- 4/5/08
- started coding for the state machine
- confirmed the first 3 states, to knocking down the board
- Changed Servo Horn Position
- 4/6/08
- across bridge (15 POINTS)
- confirmed 8 states
- Fixed Top Hats
- 4/7/08
- big argument with mr gras about strategy
- attempted to prove our (Liam's) side of the argument (fail)
- 50% success rate not good
- 4/12/08
- wrote code to look for blue cup from bridge; however, it needs to be modified to include blob pixels further to the right (ie. greater than 50)
- 4/15/08
- fixed PhantomBot's problem of spinning before knocking down the bridge
- refined the final drive into opponent's shelter
- consistently got LegoBot into opponent's shelter with satellite and plant(green tribble)
- 4/18/08
- Added mount for Project X
- Light sensor added
- Moved servo connection up a peg on the arm for more Project X possibilities (original connection was restricting how we connected Project X)
- 4/20/08
- Reviewed code
- Updated comments
- Refactored some code
- 4/21/08
- refined Project X launch mechanism
- 4/24/08
- refined the docking programing so it lines up straight
- labeled cables
- 4/24/08
- worked on project X deployment
- 4/27/08
- worked on project X
- project X code works; need to find bridge line and continue with the rest of the program
- 4/29/08
- fixed the project X deployment so it actually works (95%)
- occasionally the cord for project X gets stuck on some of the other cables, possibilities are limitless
- tribble trouble (mess with two closest piles of tribbles) works effectively
- small refinement needed to make code 100%
- Code Frozen
- 6/1/08
- Code Thawed
- Now we cliff follow with ET sensor, works great
- started wall following, takes total of 30 seconds to get to corner of opp side.
- 6/5/08
- Knock off our umbrellas
- Knock off green tribble from opponent's solarium
