Re: Building more than one robot / expanding the "season"

I'm rather new to all of this. I was drafted just last week to help in the programming. On looking it all over, it seems to me that the programming should begin when the construction begins. A fully functioning robot is not needed to test the code in all circumstances (it is the best, of course).

In my panic to bring myself up to speed, seeing as how I've never programmed a robot before, I built a mini-bot using a robot kit that the school had sitting in a corner collecting dust. I think I spent 2 hours on it. With this silly mini-bot I have hammered out a potential solution to the "follow the white line" using the kits sensors. If what I have doesn't quite work, I think I know what to do next.

They finish the robot tonight...and now my work begins. Wish me luck!
