+ | * Laura, Nick, and Akhila worked on auton, fixing the bug that caused the robot to stop while searching for the IR beacon. | ||
+ | * At one point, we realized we were looking for the IR sensor in the wrong NXT port. We learned we should always double check that the wiring has not changed. | ||
+ | * After many tests, we decided to start writing values out to the screen. In the process, we realized that the IR sensor was never reading a value high enough to warrant a continuation of the program. | ||
+ | * After lowering the value, and testing for other positions, we decided that the IR sensor would need to be moved to the other side of the robot. | ||
+ | * While working on auton, the servo for the IR arm broke, and had to be replaced. | ||
