The next day we were back in class to work on our project instead of late at night for extra hours. The main goal, we had realized was getting Handlebar Jim to actually run the course effectively. Unfortunately, we did not get the adapter that allows a robot to connect to the WiFi, which is how we would be able to give Handlebar Jim inputs. The inputs are key because we need to figure out how he sees the inputs in order to program him to finish the course.
So, Zach mostly worked on the elementary functions of Handlebar Jim since we didn't have the WiFi adapter. He played around with the sensors on Handlebar Jim and figured out to make him notice the lines on the course and at what sensitivity the sensors needed to be set at. Soon enough Handlebar Jim was able to notice and stop at all of the lines on the course and turn when necessary.
Mike Naclerio and Mine Gulia both had decided to help Zach that day since Handlbear Jim was already built and the website was coming along well. They suggested ideas to Zach and took pictures and videos for me since I was working on the blog posts.
