Program Explanation
• First the sensor located on input 3 specifies if a right hand turn is necessary or if a strait direction is needed.
• Secondly the sensor located on input 1 is tested to see if a left hand turn is needed, or if a strait direction is needed.
• The program then loops back to the beginning.

We had dreams of power, durability, versatility…

And Total Domination

Fiercely following a line of tape

And when all was said and done…

We unleashed a monster.

The Pains and Sufferings
• Numerous attempts for an adept program were implemented.
• Failure after failure built frustration in all of Team 4.
• Small steps of progression proved, eventually, to pay off.
• We worked for the gold, but only received an honorable mention. (bitterly)

Product Development
• While, originally, the large tires were implemented, in the end the tank style treds were used.
• Sliding nubs and a swing arm steering set-ups were tested and found to be less efficient in comparison to the treds.
• Programs with and without timers were tested, and eventually showed that timers were very helpful.

Competition Day
• Seemingly prepared, we walked towards the track.
• The track’s difficulty level was high, and we had confidence for a high rank.
• While our robot did well, it wasn’t placed on the winners stand.
