Day 1 - 1/09 First day in the lab!! We now know where it is...spent a fair amount of time on the pegbot since none of us really knew what we were doing at first. Staff was very helpful. Vamsi taught the rest of us how to wire a breadboard. Blew 3 fuses because test wires (for reading voltage) were too close together, causing leads to touch. Manufacturing of pegbot was rather simple once we got tools - had to shave off sides to make room for wheels. Came up with a basic design and strategy for robot and split up tasks. Anthony and Rebecca will work on CAD while Vamsi finishes converting the Python library to Java and Katherine helps him code. First checkpoint was successfully completed after working out wiring problems.
Day 2 - 1/10 Vamsi and Katherine will work on the code for checkpoint 2, playing with vision but still using bump sensors for walls. Anthony and Rebecca are CADing like crazy to get a draft design done. Making the little parts - motors, servos, battery - is annoying but not difficult.
