DAY 13

As we work on modularizing our algorithm, we worked on modularizing our testing.

Here we worked on subroutine on can capture and secure containment

Here are side views of the robot chassis--battery, cables, and microcontroller unit are place specifically to accomodate the U-channel can containment. The gears has been reduced to a rear wheel drive simplicity of straight drive control.

Here's the frontal and perspective view of the robot:

Now, we have a up close of view of all the senor integerations:

From left to right: arm down to scan for can color, a close look of the long range sensor, and then the switch.

Top view of the robot and it's ground color scan module--set at motor servo value of 10.

Further testing of ground color scan and can color scan--servo module value of 90.

Finally, we solve the troublesome problem of the sensor and servo connections by hot gluing the pin units temporarily. It worked great!!!
