Programming
- We started by testing the program written yesterday to turn towards a piece of retro-reflective tape.
- - After working out some bugs, we were able to get the robot to turn by moving the tape. It was very exciting!
- - Next, we tried correcting for distance using center Y. Using the same system as we used for correcting the turn, we were able to get this working as well.
- - Finally, we combined the two, so the robot would turn and move forward based on the tape. We were able to have the robot follow a piece of tape around the warehouse. It worked quite well.
- We also worked on organizing the drive code in the new 2016 project.
- -All unnecessary files were removed, especially those regarding swerve.
- -We then modified the DriveControl abstract class to take the correct joystick inputs.
- -We were able to keep the same architecture for the drive code, which means our design is very robust. It can even withstand a brand new drive train.
- -We added classes for tank and arcade drive. They can not be tested today, because we do not have a tank robot yet.
- -We also modified the gyro correction to work with arcade.
