Judgment day is scheduled for 8:00AM tomorrow morning and the group is working diligently to complete final tests. With regards to the robot and the program, everything is complete. The robot moves forward, left, and right. The back function works but due to motor failures, it momentarily moves back then starts spinning in circles since one motor dies out. The light sensors are fully functional and calibrated to meet search and rescue standards. Out last issue that is close to being out of our reach is the arm mechanism.
The joystick successfully moves the arm but the arm does does not fully rotate 360 degrees. We have concluded that the problem is the motor strength, not the arm design. To solve the problem, the group is working with a number of different solutions.
Ultimately, we are confident in our design. The Robot will be ready for tomorrow!
