Test Duration: 2 hours
Who ran the test: Jeevan, Tory, Aidan, Aadi
Who was present: Jeevan, Tory, Aidan, Aadi
What was being tested: line following using photosensors, shaft encoders
Observations:
- The robot followed the line when going through the track in reverse, but not the normal way.
Outcomes:

Number of Times Tested: 15-20
Test Duration: 2 hours 30 mins
Who ran the test: Jeevan, Tory, Aidan, Aadi
Who was present: Jeevan, Tory, Aidan, Aadi
What was being tested: Performance checkpoint 1
Observations:
- Hard coding involves a lot of trial runs. We may run into problems because of the changing physical conditions. It is still the simplest way to navigate the robot
Outcomes:
- We successfully made the robot go through the path that was required for performance checkpoint 1.

What was being tested: Performance checkpoint 2
Observations:
- Getting aligned with the light for the boarding pass is difficult. Hitting the right button was a fifty-fifty chance if it did not read anything, as the blue button was set as the default.
Outcomes:
- We successfully made the robot read the light and hit the right button for the boarding pass.

What was being tested: Performance checkpoint 3
Observations:
- The robot had some trouble with flipping the lever back up. This was because our turns were very fast which made it a little inconsistent.
Outcomes:
- We successfully made the robot flip the lever down, wait for five seconds, and flip it back up.

What was being tested: Performance checkpoint 4
Observations:
- Our robot always dragged across the wall, which actually made it consistently align itself with the passport lever.
Outcomes:
- We successfully made the robot flip the lever down, wait for five seconds, and flip it back up.

What was being tested: Performance checkpoint 5
Observations:
- We went with a very simple approach to the luggage drop-off. We had the luggage sitting on top of our QR code holder, the robot just rammed into the drop-off location, which made the luggage fall into it.
Outcomes:
- The design worked consistently, and we successfully completed performance checkpoint 4.

Number of Times Tested: 10-15
Test Duration: 3 hours
Who ran the test: Jeevan, Tory, Aidan, Aadi
Who was present: Jeevan, Tory, Aidan, Aadi
What was being tested: Performance test 1
Observations:
- Our robot was very inconsistent and we struggled to get a perfect run. We were not able to get our robot to read the light for the boarding pass, as its positioning was always different after completing the passport task.
Outcomes:
- After rigorous testing, and refinements to the code, we got it to complete all the tasks for performance test 1.
