UPDATE: 10/19/15

This weekend our team discussed the proposal that is due October 19, 2015.  While discussing the proposal we distributed the duties equally to each member and agreed to send it to one person to finalize the format, do a final proofread and add anything missed. However, while discussing the proposal we all realized how much of an important factor coding is in our project.  We designated our team member Farad to be the head of the coding part of this project because he has the most experience. He agreed to search for C++ coding books to learn more than what he already knows. We also agreed on all of us reading the book  when he finds it so we can all further our understanding of C++ and help each other when it comes time to start coding the Lego car.

 Today my team and I discussed the feasibility of many design projects, but only got was finalized. We first proposed to do something with solar panels but when we asked TA Marco he informed us that to produce a sufficient amount of energy from a solar panel we would need a huge area, so we discarded of that plan. Next, we had an idea of making a sort of climbing robot, who's legs and arms would be inverted as it climbed up steps. We then realized that it would be easier to make a robot who climbed up a wall using the holes in the wall as stabilizers. We grabbed Kinects from the front and started to mess around with them, using them as gears to test the feasibility of our plan. This idea quickly died as it became more and more difficult to fabricate how we would achieve this. Finally, we came to a conclusion to build a Lego car with motion sensors that would give it the ability to maneuver through an obstacle course. TA Marco agreed with this idea and told us that it would be smart to test if we could make it parallel park first which we all agreed. At this time we realized that a plan of this action would require a lot of coding, so we all decided to use the coding skills we have and learn more. We then made a budget which is in now way finalized and a timeline which also needs a lot of work.
