Week #4


Design #2 - Flipper, touch and light sensor attached to modified tribot.

 The new flipper design was definitely worth the wait. It has a large flipper that will active when the touch sensor is pressed. We managed to attach the light sensor in a way that will enable it to point to the ground without having to alter the flipper much. However, the sensor doesn't point directly down it is currently at an angle which will be a problem when calibrating it. Also we decided that it order to make the flipper more efficient, we will shorten it a little bit so it moves quicker.

Next Week goals - Fix sensor, ponder competition code.
