Project Overview

System Diagram

Program Module

Tracking Algorithm

Wall Hugger Algorithm

Sense walls

If offset sensors turn on, you are no longer centered.

Increase speed on side of offset sensors until centered

Go as long as there is a wall on the left

if there is a wall on the front, turn right

if there is no wall on the left, turn left

Completed Tasks

Sensor layout

Chassis Attached Wheels Determined type/placement of batteries Pillars

Attained all necessary supplies

What Remains To Be Done

Integrating the sensor circuit ( currently underway)

Determine how many motor pulses needed to move one cell (pending)

Attach motors to circuit (pending)

Programming (in progress)

Functionality Tests (in progress)

Potential Problems

Subsystems not working as planned

Parts breaking

Too much time on troubleshooting

Exams, quizzes, conflicting with working on project

Spring Break: team availability not optimal
