Team Two/Final Paper

Our Team Strategy

Our team was a balanced team with each member having knowledge in different parts of the bot and each one of us were equally involved in the coding of the bot. Kameron took part of the mechanical design and was timely involved in giving his opinion in the coding part. Rishi took care of the electronics and was responsible for the vision part of the bot. Kartik took care of the whole coding part and integrating the different modules of the code.

Our team basic strategy was to always go for the pyramid and try to score in the top of the pyramid. However in the end due to the limitation of the design we positioned the camera in such a way that it looks towards the yellow of the pyramid or the yellow of the opponents wall. This way we were ensured that the bot will score in any of the two near the end of 3 minutes. The code was written such that the bot will be in ball finding state for most of the time, only in the last 45 seconds it will try to search for the yellow wall and score. This way we ensured that the we collected maximum ball before entering scoring state.
