Programming for the Obstacle Course

Today, basically we just used the class time to work on our robot. Avery and I worled on the robot while Clare worked on the program for the robot. We tried numerous things with the robot. We had setbacks such as not being able to use the scythe for hitting down the cans. Our robot is still under modification. We have finished a little more than half of the modification. We just need to add the cannon which we will use for destroying the cans. and the NXT which will be added when all the modification is done.
The other part of the team which was Clare, worked on the program using a spare robot. She has finished programming the robot until it hits the wall using the touch sensor. We will then be trying to work out the problem on the robot turning when it hits the wall. If all goes well (and I'm sure it will) we will be ready to complete the challenge by Monday.
