Integration Demo : CHECKLIST
1.Convince the evaluators that your project is substantially complete:
o Demonstrate the integrated system functionality in the lab using the arena.
o Prove that your robot can handle challenging scenario that you have identified.
o Videos showing the functioning of the robot (may be effective if there is time consuming
calibration involved, or to quickly demonstrate the integrated functionality)
2. Insure that all functionality required by the project (and shown on your wiki functionality list)
has been covered by the integration.
3. Description of operational constraints, i.e. weight limit, speed, power consumption.
4. Description of the test methods for insuring functionality of the robot.
5. Chassis should be designed and constructed. If this is not done, a justification must be given.
6.PCB should be available for the demonstration. If not, give evidence that it is designed and
ordered.
7. Budget update is required showing the project finances.
8. Project timeline (not individual timelines) must be presented.

Had Design Demonstration
Progress:
Robot can detect the grid and move (needs computer to send commands though)
Beacon Mechanical Design is complete
Chassis Design is complete
Challenges:
Robot overshoots sometimes. May need to adjust sensor position.
Goals:
Have PCB delivered by beginning of March
Design Beacon Motor/Sensor communication

February 5th
Met up to talk about Design Demo/IPeer
Progress:
Built a circuit to amplify and filter the IR transmitter/receiver
Built the circuitry in software
Goals:
Build beacon to be accessible from four sides
Build ball catcher on chassis
Achieve a working demonstration by the design demonstration date
Notified everyone to keep up to date on their work on the blog
