Team Five/Journal

1/6/14 Akhil, Erick and Jay went to the lectures.

We assembled our pegbot and wired as many of the components as we could.

Jay setup the tablet.

Akhil and Erick discussed strategy over Chicago Pizza.

Tomorrow, we'll all get shop trained and finish wiring the pegbot after we get the batteries.

1/9/14 Erick - Finished communication infrastructure between maple and tablet. Added gyro support.

1/15/14 Jay - built the first prototype of the ball-dropping mechanism and named the robot "Castle of Glass". The name is still up for debate...

1/16/14 Erick - having trouble with the state estimation and control loops working together happily. Will revert to code that will command the robot to spin a certain number of degrees drive straight for a given distance. Akhil - worked on the localization code, trying to allow the localization to use info from previous frames to better the current guess.
