The original idea (given by our professor Mr. Clingan) was to have a diary from the perspective of the robot. This did not come into fruition however, as the head of journalism for the team did not put too much thought into the idea. Instead, here is a small summary on the life of the robot.
-First named R.O.B. by Jeff, based off of the popular Nintendo character/peripheral.
-Name changed to Millennium Falgon by Luke, based off of an inside joke.
-Another unofficial name was given to the robot as part of the joke: Captain Falgon.
-The robot has been adorned with two flags in its life, first by the “OSU Banner” and then the “Falg”.
-EPA Estimated Mileage by the robot: 64,000” = 1.0 miles.
-Aaron calculated that the robot squared to a wall over 1000 times during its life.
-Aaron also calculated that the robot picked up 34 lb of total SKID weight.
-We are working to keep the Millenium Falgon operational without the proteus. Currently, It has full driving functionality, and is controlled by an Arduino.
