What Do We Hope To Achieve In Robotics?
• By participating in robotics, we hope to learn more about physics, science, programming, building, and math. We want to expand our knowledge. It is fun to make our robot do a human’s task!

SOFTWARE PROGRAM
April 9th, 2011 SR-chitect / Storming Robots - 2011 14
• Robot C 2.26 BETA
• Deploy Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) algorithm for wall tracing.
Two separate tasks 1. Task 1: Handle the PID wall tracing navigation 2. Task 2: Handle thermal reading for victims to
set a global boolean switch for victim recognition

SOFTWARE ISSUES
Software algorithm will not be able to handle floating walls due to lack of sensors port and processing power of the NXT Brick.
Will mistake obstacle away from wall as floating wall
PID program had some fishtailing effect
