Day 1, Monday January 3
G looked into the OpenCV libraries and worked on vision code.
A and T assembled the pegbot, and L got a basic drive program running, completing Checkpoint 1. This took longer than expected due to mysterious electrical problems that went away, and problems with the stock Arduino command decoder that wouldn't allow the motors to be driven backward.
We met and decided on the general mechanical design of the robot, agreeing to prototype scoring mechanisms but mostly leaning toward a dumper/launcher. We also decided how to spend our sensor points and what we intended to order online (most notably omni-wheels).
G and T took the pegbot and eeePC home to work on Checkpoint 2 with a bump sensor.
