The third day working on the project was spent mostly thinking about the logic behind programming the robot. Zach and Mike Gulia spent a lot of time talking to Professor Bram about how Handlebar Jim should think about the course and how we should think about the problem when attempting to program the robot.
Mike Naclerio added a few support and pieces to the arms that held up the sensors in order to keep them suspended. The supports also helped with keeping the sensors from swaying too much during movement. By the end of the day, Mike Naclerio had also added a lot of pieces for visual aesthetics including wings and two more arms with extra sensor to look like canons.
Zach had programmed some things at home when he was unable to get to class the week before. What he had done was create a way for the Handlebar Jim to know where he is on the course and determine what areas would be safe for him to travel on. During class he mostly worked on the same program and ways to make it more consistent.
Mike Gulia worked on adding menus to the website and started the Wumpus World Problem section of our website. Here he explains what the Wumpus Problem is and how we are planning to solve it with our robot.
