2/26 Test 2

Purpose of Test: Have robot touch wrench and end on red button and complete performance test 2.

Observers: Meghan, Tom

1st Run (7:40, Course B): Lined up to the control panel, but robot didn’t hit the buttons it was supposed to.

2nd Run (7:41, Course B): Robot drove too far initially, running into the navigation panel.

Changed: The issue seemed to come from the hardware of the robot – Meghan and Tom hot glued the motors to the chassis.

3rd Run (7:47, Course F): Problem with driving too far was fixed and robot ran its course as it should have. Problem hitting blue button.

Changed: Back up robot more if the light is blue.

4th Run (7:54, Course B): Did not hit blue button, needs to more forward to hit buttons. Didn’t line up to wall with bump switches.

Changed: Nothing

5th Run (8:02, Course D): Did not hit the blue button, needs to move forward more to hit wrench.

Changed: Made it move more to hit the wrench, changed movement when hitting blue button.

6th Run (8:12, Course F): Inconsistency in lining up the CdS cell to read the light, causing it to incorrectly read the light some times, spent too long squaring up against the wall

Changed: try to hit button at the end, less time when squaring up against the wall.

7th Run (8:32, Course C): Got weird CdS readings, didn’t drive long enough to hit the button at the end (but came really close)

Changed: Ran proteus test code to get readings for CdS cell

8th Run (8:45, Course D): Everything worked except it kept missing the button color light

Changed: Correction factor on the turns

9th Run (8:58, Course F): Succeeded 3 out of the 5 times

Changed: Nothing
