  • –  Questions -(All members)
  • –  Lab 10 -PT3 -(All members)
  • –  Discussion on code -(All members)

    ______________________________________________________________________________ Decisions:

  • –  The group decided to use the micro servo
  • –  The group decided to try both goFor() and goToAbsolutePosition(). ______________________________________________________________________________ Reflections:
  • –  Yinuo talked about “goFor()” command. He held the view that the group should calculate the time to the gate before using “goFor()” command.
  • –  Nick pointed out that the group should make sure the starting position when using “goToAbsolutePosition()” command.
  • –  Marcus thought that the micro servo could balance the AEV since it tilted backwards.
  • –  Yao thought that the micro servo could be used as a brake in order to make sure that the

    AEV did not slide too long.

  • –  We need to make sure the AEV could run consistently.
