Some design flaws arose where the two light sensors were too close together and the data produced conflicting results causing the robot to veer off-course. Modifications were made. As of now, the robot is capable of following the straight lines along the highway. The team is currently programming to allow the robot to make turns. In addition, the team is brainstorming as to how to create a maneuver to realign the robot to the field should it stray away from the designated path.
The testing field created is a scaled model of the competition field. The team has yet to include the colored portions of the field as this would cause many issues with the current line tracker programming. As the program becomes more efficient the colored areas will be added. The team will then shift its focus to passenger collection/drop-off and collision avoidance maneuvers.
Pictures of the initial design, the modifications, and the testing field are located in the Picture Album tab at the top of the page.
