The robot had trouble connecting and the bluetooth was a bit slow when reacting to what they did on the controller. The kick stand could not be brought down but, a top priorty for the next meeting is finding a way to bring down the kick stand quickly and consistently. Eric, while on the snack break, learned how to set up the drive station for when the team practices driving. |
