Brad was out sick today so Krista worked on the write up for the Racing activity. The outline of the 4 activities is complete along with ideas for each round of racing that should take place. She also added a second lane to the "test track" so when Brad is back they will be able to start working on lane switching.
Fara and Erika worked on changing the model. It has been difficult to find an object that works well for the recycling bot because the claws do close completely on most objects. If the claws are not all the way closed, they wiggle around a lot and the object is often dropped. They've been trying to modify Andy's claw contraption into their robot but it is still a work in progress. Fara also started som preliminary testing on the accelerometer sensor.
Reza continued his work on the tracking and movement functions for the predator bot while Chris researched and created libraries for the PS2 controller. They have now firmly decided that they "prey" bots will be controlled with the PS2's while the predators will rely on their code to track and catch the prey.
