Progress upates and goals for AVC

#Week 7

• Tim and Cam: Finish quadrant 3 & quadrant 4 if possible
• Ian: Maintenance, wire organization
• Zala: Run final tests, document results, finish sketches
• James: Clean up wires and design, attempt quadrant 4 code Progress:

• Finished quadrant 3 code(without testing due to lab times)
• Attempted quadrant 4 code(without testing)
• Final robot assessment

#Week 6

• Tim and Cam: Quadrant 3 code, get PID fully functional, Quadrant 4 code
• Ian: Print off designs and apply
• Zala: Finish design sketches, photograph components
• James: Get 3D printed designs finished, research components Progress:

• Fixed Quadrant 2 code
• PID started working
• Fixed opposite turning wheels
• Got robot to successfully navigate quadrant 1 and 2 (fast)
• Tested code for quadrant 3, power supply cable broke and halted testing
• Mounted front sensor
• Wrote code for quadrant 3 and 4(yet to be tested)
• Fixed power supply cable
• Implimented sensors onto Pi

#Week 5

• Tim and Cam: Get PID fully functional, get movement code working
• Ian: Finalize robot structure
• Zala: Test robot to run through first and second quadrant, sketch robot designs
• James: Finalize part designs and print them off Progress:

• Tested robot #1
