Weekly Report 6 (6/16/05)

 

 

           Since collision avoidance is due this week I have been working on the line tracker software.  Everything is mounted to the robot body except for the CMU cam.  The sonar cable I made broke so I have to make another one. When I did my demo the robot was having a problem when the inner IR sensors hit the line.  I was told to go home and fix it and come back the next day.  When I did go home, however, I noticed after a couple of hours that there were to lines of code missing. 

 

Lesson Learned: be careful when cutting and pasting code.

 

So as of June 16th my robot can stay with in a lane of traffic using two line tracking sensors consisting of three IRs on each sensor.  I am still working on a stopping motion for the sonar.
