Program for the obstecle course

We have writted most of the program but we still have to write the part were we avoid the cans.
We haven't done any test because of a need to focus on building our robot.

Here is a list on what we need to do on monday

Building
Put on the last tread on the robot

Programming
Finish the avoid cans program part

Calculations

Threshold values for Sound sensor, Ultrasonic (at bottles and wall) (there might be a problem with the pillar) and light sensor (full room light)

Turn value on both wheels for a 90 degree turn

Testing

Test a couple of times and then correct any difficulties we might have

sorry there are no pictures there is need to focus and hurry with the robot to the deadline so i have had to put in extra time and rush.

I can't wait to see what your plan is to get the rotating ultrasonic working! btw, it's spelled obstacle.

That basically summarizes what we have to do now. However, it is quite hard to get the robot to go straight all the time since the floor is a bit slant towards one side. Therefore, we also have to practice placing our starting position of the robot to ensure robot's maximum performance during the race.
