Programming

• Tracking/Navigation
• Interpreting sensor signals
• Detecting intersections and dead ends (and
  maneuvering accordingly)
• Staying centered in each hallway
• Mapping
• Keeping track of path taken
• Determining location of center
• Finding fastest route to center

Problems Encountered Action Taken

• Parts/Fabrication
• Designing a working circuit -
• Soldering and etching imperfections -
• Getting the parts needed
• Motor Driver Circuit -
• Programming
• Limited programming experience especially w/
  Dynamic C
• Designing and coordinating separate functions
  into one working program
• Defining correct/workable parameters
• Debugging

17
Learning Experience

• Soldering Etching
• Learn as we go
• Programming
• Increase circuit analysis skills
• Teamwork
• Communication
• Creating a working robot

18
Outstanding Problems Suggestions

• Not all components work as they should sensors
  not sensing
• Possibly change the sensors
• Improve etching skills
• Time to work on tracking, navigation, mapping,
  and solving is not adequate
• Need an early lead time
• Start very early on project prior to start of
  semester

Final Status

• A floating rabbit
• It can make turns a couple turns
• The mouse can track for a time
• A sturdy chassis design
• It is easy to fix and replace parts
