the purpose of this Blog is to document progress and ideas. first thing i want to log is a too do list.
- redesign the robots... standardized the design (will help when working on communication). this includes deciding on a drive train and developing an effective back spinner or kicker.
- attempt to learn robot C (but possibly not as i want to get the communication working between the robots...). if not, find the most effective language which allows for effective blue tooth communication.
- work on getting a compass sensor working to stop scoring own goals and make shooting goals easier
- get the downwards pointing light sensor working- will allow the robot to follow lines laid out on the mat and angle for goals, etc
- design a set of heuristic rules for communication between the robots
- design an effective set of communication procedures (optimistically getting the robots to pass the ball around goal keepers, getting the currently attacking robot out of the way, etc)
- complete a set of live tests (against ourselves and other schools)
other things to do include:
- learning the current rules
- fighting school to let us go to nationals
- convincing school to buy new sensors.
- working with other schools for friendly matches
- finding transport to national competition.
- not letting it effect my HSC too much (yeah right.)
