To Do:
Hardware
- Finish cloning the H-H robot
- 180 degree sweep arm to sweep tribble and umbrella at stage one
- line followers 1) cliff following (navigation of the bridge) 2) regular line following (know when the bridge has ended)
- nothing to stick or get caught on the tape
- Lock/block in opponents shelter around a blue cup
Software
- test and document values for tophat for line/cliff following
- look for green above blue
- gradual line follow over bridge
- grabber
- do everything fast
- stuck at crossBridgeLeft and crossBridgeRight area
- probably going to lineFollow, but not sure
- Problem: Dorkbot goes to the right of the bridge line; Phantombot goes to the left of the bridge line.
- get bot into opponent shelter!!!
Completed:
Hardware
- 3/29/08
- Began the cloning process
- 4/21/08
- Changed the front arm to be more specialized for tribble grabbing
Software
- 4/4/08
- finished the skeleton for the state machine
- 4/18/08
- copied H2H program into seeding folder
- after crossing our bridge, turned legobot around and knocked down opponent's bridge
- turned towards tribble piles, dropped arms, drove forward (inaccurately)
- 4/19/08
- fixed inaccuracy in turning towards the tribbles piles by squaring up on line
- drove to tribble piles
- collected both orange over green piles
- turned towards the bridge
- crossed bridge back to our side (inaccurately)
- 4/20/08

- worked on coming back on both left and right sides of the bridge
- after much testing, we can always get back on either side (on 7.15 charge)
- finished the come back into opponent's shelter code. Worked the one time we tested it
