Round One: Socket to It

So, we've successfully completed the first stage of the Project. What we've accomplished thus far:

• Built the robot(3 rebuilds in order to get the gearing ratio right)
• Give us a break, we're in electrical and computer engineering, besides it just about climbs walls now
• The VEXPro has been programmed for movement and interrupts
• Motors function properly and the speeds of the motors had to be offest in order for the robot to move straight.
• Robot can move forward, backward, right, left, and come to a stop.
• Bump sensors have been added into the interrupt programming for collision detection.
• Android App has been programmed and sends commands to the VEXPro

The Fighting Mongooses

Getting Started...

This blog is meant to document the progress in design and development of a robot that is capable of navigating a specified path autonomously.

The team, The Fighting Mongooses, is comprised of four members, Dan, Charlie, Mark, and Sam. Each of the team members brings a unique set of skills that should prove extremely useful in completing this project.
