Week 4 Into Week 5

This week the group mainly focused on different coding methods.  Different methods discussed such as bluetooth commands, master/slave robot, and remote control. The remote control method, where the group would guide the robot through the maze remotely, is not up to par with the design project standards. Synchronization between the servo motors is being researched. Robot sensors are being tested on the Bricx CC program. The sensors  being used still include the color sensor, ultrasonic sensors, touch sensors, and magnetic sensors.  The group also decided that using plywood to construct the maze would be highly impractical and expensive, thus, the group is currently deciding between cardboard and styrofoam to use as wall material for the maze.  Other than sensor work, not much more progress has been made on the robot itself.
Objectives over the next week:
Acquire maze materials
Begin maze construction
Sensors attached to robot
Servo motors functional
Develop coding to run both Mind-blocks at the same time
