Spring 2017 Week 2

In the last two weeks, I had met up with Luis, Chris, and the Software team in order to discuss what needs to be done this semester. Issues that may arise along the semester were also addressed. For example, it seems the positioning team is slightly behind so the vehicle controls and software must plan ahead in the case that the positioning team is unable to finish their work by Maker's Faire. 

For the most part, I will be assisting Luis and Chris with the code with regards to pathing and motor control. So far, I have been testing a psuedo code for pathing that utilizes arrays. Each path is assigned an array of 1's and 0's, which tells the pod car whether or not to switch when the "smart" sensor on the right side detects a magnet. 

Although my team and I only have to worry about writing the code for pathing and motor control, we must still finish in a timely fashion such that there will be enough time to resolve any issues that may arise.
