Mr. Carpenter changed the objective of the design. Now, instead of having the robot go around a course and roll a ball into pins, it is now carrying an AA battery to charge four electric cars parked in a parking lot. In order to charge the car the robot has to connect its battery to the car's charging contacts for at least three seconds. My group has finally finished creating a function for our robot while testing it out with different distances. We decided to go up by 0.2's and we stopped at 1.0. With the function we've been testing it out to find the distances it must go in order to stop at the car's charging contacts. We've also gotten the car to stop at the first two charging contacts and turn from there. In order to this we've set up our own course using two white boards and an expo marker to draw the charging contacts. With a few days left to obtain a substantial robot I believe we're progressing well.
