January 14th.

LOCKER NUMBER 7

Jobin developed a software testing function
Aramazd and Navin built a simple robot to test out the ZigBee(WASD) and made a video
Albert takes charge of the blog

Budget:
Spent $168 + 25$ (microcontroller) + $5 (cable)

Challenges:
Beacons - infrared LEDs
Robot - turn at the middle of intersections
Ball Retriever System - run into the beacon?
Route - how to get home? COORDINATE SYSTEM
Walls outside their walls? (Stuff outside their walls)
2 Additional XBee
Two batteries

Notes
When robot senses the beacon (sweeps), the robot can decide whether to move right or down.
The wheel that detects the distance (photoelectric sensors) in the middle.
Stay on the grid.
Walls and obstacles are same height
XZTU - XBee series 2
Arduino IDE

Next Week Goal:
Chassis (Aramazd, Wajih) - Hexagon
Sensor (Jobin, Aaron, Albert) - decide where they should go
Beacon (Navin)


January 23rd - Proposal
