Thursday, June 19: An Overview

On this gloomy, rainy Thursday, Reza finished up the activity and tutorials for the Forklift challenge making the whole exercise complete. Tomorrow morning he's planning on reading through again and fine tuning a few things before the activity goes up for peer review.

Chris and Krista have worked their ideas together for the Activity Zero document; Chris worked on developing the short tutorial exercises and the code needed for them while Krista built the bot in the Lego designer (one file for each of the sensors that can be atatched). The model of the TriBot was also built in the designer at this time (TriBot is modeled with the touch sensor in frnt while TriBot_V2 has the touch sensor in back with a light sensor in the front).

Brad and Fara finished up the experimenting and write-up for the compas sensor. Working with the sensor in the marble-floored Inovation Center actually worked out much better than here in the lab with icky carpets. The documents for this sensor will be peer reviewed tomorrow morning.

Up for grabs tomorrow:
  • Looking over the Grabber challenge and determining what needs to be changed
  • Working on/Finishing Activity Zero
  • Peer reviewing Sensor documents and the Forklift challenge
