Day 0: 8 Jan 2012
Discovered the wiki.
Day 1: 9 Jan 2012
Jacob worked on the Kinect all day. David set up the EEE PC and wrote some code. Josh and Logan hacked the Arduino and made some Solidworks models. We all worked on the pegbot. Martin was not yet back. Checkoff 1 was completed later in the day. Deans connectors were installed to protect the battery and make battery swaps easy. We implemented a modular motor connector.
Day 2: 10 Jan 2012
Jacob started working on color recognition for the Kinect. Logan's jellyfish were delivered. David finished removing the GUI from the EEE PC. Josh completed checkoff 2 using a short-range IR sensor. Martin worked in Solidworks all day.
Day 3: 11 Jan 2012
We established 500k baud serial communication between the Arduino and the laptop. Logan worked on motion control code. David and Jacob upgraded to OpenCV 2.3 and continued to work on the Kinect software. We built a filtered power supply to run the Kinect from the robot battery. Logan's jellyfish turned itself inside-out.
Day 4: 12 Jan 2012
Logan's jellyfish is still inside-out but the water is turning clearer. David and Jacob worked on flood fill blob detection and got it running at a respectable frame rate. Martin continued to be an awesome mechanical engineer. Josh rewired the Arduino shield and wrote a quadrature decoding interrupt handler. Logan worked on motion control code on the Arduino. We programmed spazzbot to follow balls. Unfortunately, spazzbot ejected the Kinect and laptop onto the field in its excitement at seeing a ball,
Day 5: 13 Jan 2012
David and Jacob worked on color detection and blob recognition. Josh and Logan rebuilt spazzbot to be less spazzy. We successfully followed a ball around the field. Martin finished most of the mechanical design.
Day 6: 14 Jan 2012
Josh and Martin cut parts on the waterjet.
