News Feed: Week 7

During the week of week 7, most of the programming was written. Since we finally obtained a color sensor, and got the color sensing codes to function on the NXT G program, the biggest part of the programming was finished ( line sensing and color sensing code ). The code needs a bit of tweaking, but it would still function if it were to be run on the actual experiment. As for the robot design itself, we decided that the arm needed more work. So on top of working on the code, we worked on remodeling the arm. While the guys were working on these aspects of the project, the girls started to write the manual for executing the experiment. Summaries of the program were given to them and the function of the robot was explained to them so they can write effective directions to approach the experiment. On top of everything, we're actually trying to get the actual light boards to work. It's not finalized yet if it works or not. Here are some pictures of what we've been doing and what we've accomplished:
