We received a sample lesson plan that we should follow as far as the format once we begin making ours, and then Zac showed us how their team is using Google Docs and Blogger to create their team’s journal. We all thought it was a great way to document, and will set up blogs for all of the teams.
Our supervising professor, Dr. Namuduri, returned to campus today and we met with him briefly to discuss the project status. We relayed our ideas on the flowcharts and how we could use it in the classroom, and hangups we were having as far as the programming side and camera operation.
We then discussed a simplification to the flowchart and program with Li. We decided to eliminate the grid “search and rescue” style pattern and go to a simpler path that would mimic driving in a straight hallway with 90 degree turns in it. The robot would avoid obstacles and be able to make turns in the hallway. If this works, then the camera could be added and the robots could be used for surveillance. Li will create this program to be used in the table arena first, and then we can move on to the hallway.
