Today, the team met at lab to discuss and brainstorm more ideas to further the research of our project. We looked at many new ideas to try to narrow down our approach and determine exactly how we wanted to build and program the robot. We started out by getting a LEGO MindStorm kit and trying to assemble a kit. We researched for some information on the internet and found out our best IDE for the coding of the project to be RobotC. We also connected many of the sensors of the MindStorm kit and looked at real time values of individual sensors. We also found out that the kit we have doesn’t have all the necessary pieces, it was missing some important pieces. Not having the whole kit halted our progress from actually building the model car that we need. We researched online and looked further at ways we can implement our project by looking at some YouTube videos and some prices of a LEGO MindStorm kits and parts. We also hypothesized about the exact mechanism that we would have to go through and the possible challenges we will be facing when we come across the function of the project. We also decided that we will be following a different path to designing the project as well. Our new objective will include having the robot track and trace a line while still avoiding an obstacle on its way. We ended the day by deciding our next time to meet and get a new kit that hopefully has all the pieces we need.
