We spent a lot of time getting the IR sensor to work. There seems to be a software issue that makes sending/receiving commands from the arduino really slow. Changing the timeout variable in arduino.py from 1 to 2 helped, sort of. | We spent a lot of time getting the IR sensor to work.

We assembled the pegbot and got it to run. The wheels spun in opposite directions because we didn't think about polarity hard enough. We also found that the installation of IDLE on the eeePC was kind of screwy for some reason.

We spent a lot of time getting the IR sensor to work. There seems to be a software issue that makes sending/receiving commands from the arduino really slow. Changing the timeout variable in arduino.py from 1 to 2 helped, sort of. Daivon and Veronica started atuocadding parts, and we thought about how to build a ball shooter.
Also, we've noticed that the wheels rotate at dramatically different speeds even though they're receiving the same motor value command. Still need to figure that out.
