* Akhila learned how to use certain aspects of the Lab View programming language, and saw how the language generally worked. She ran a program that measured the signal strengths of the IR beacon in different indexes, and put the IR sensor on different paths to collect the signal strengths. The initial task is to go straight, and turn when the strength is greater than the threshold on sensor three, or the "slightly to the right" sensor. | * Akhila learned how to use certain aspects of the Lab View programming language, and saw how the language generally worked.
