We have a few modifications to our robot design.
First off, it was decided that we will use a normal light sensor to detect the outer ring of the arena as opposed to the color sensor. At first, we tested the color sensor by creating a code that will show us the results of it directed at a white color and a black color. The results were not consistent and therefore unreliable for our needs. We've performed these same tests with the light sensor. The results from this particular sensor gave us a distinct difference between the two colors. We tested this further by creating a simple code that told the robot to move indefinitely on a black surface until the light sensor detected the white edge. The light sensor successfully differentiated between the two colors and stop just as it sensed the difference.
Construction is still under way. Our wheels have trouble performing a zero point turn because there is not much weight keeping in on the ground. We have ordered extra LEGO parts online that will be used in out design.One of these parts include treads that we intend to incorporate into the design to going better traction.
