Agenda
- Meet members
- Finish the team contract
Minutes
The meeting ran 11:15-12:05 in Kimball B11. We met each other and finished the contract
with discussion.
Goals for the week
Submit the contract and give the required links by the deadline. Show up prepared for
Monday's lab.

Agenda
- Progress Report: individual members
- Decide on line algorithm and circuitry
Minutes
Progress reports:
- Alex Coy: not much to CAD and print. We can decide what to start on Monday. It's fine
to decompose parts into smaller components and glue them together so we can print on
a smaller platform. It's a small robot... not many big parts.
- Ryan Cox: Found line following article here.
There are a few algorithms... explained algorithms. (Discussed algorithms, decided to
try the 4-sensor idea in the article.
- Joseph Zullo: Stackless, round-robin concurrency.
- Tyrone Bamfo:

Goals for the week
- Alex: Create a mount to 3D print for the axels that’ll hold the line sensors. Should be done by Monday. Will have to send the file to Ryan who can get it 3D printed. We can use a common source amplifier.
- Ryan: Finish the figure 8 navigation code by tomorrow evening.
- Tyrone: One team should work on the milestone next week and the other should work on the lab. Just in case everyone should familiarize themselves with the pre-lab content.

Goals for the week
- Alex: Already have an amplifying circuit and a passive filter circuit. Might be able to use Schmitt trigger circuit for other robot detection with phototransistors. I’ll try and see if I can make a circuit with one transistor that has a type of railing behavior with a threshold.
- Ryan: I’ll look into freeing up some analog pins by making the line sensors digital
- Joseph: Just need sensors to get the wall following going. Already have the code
- Tyrone: I’ll check code again because 950 Hz should be in Bin 27, but Arduino plotter shows it in Bin 34. See if it works in matlab.

Goals for the week
- Alex: Started moving stuff from solderless breadboard to strip board which should make connections more robust.
- Ryan: Will work on printing new mounts for sensors because following is inconsistent likely due to poor placements
- Joseph: Finished code for transmitting maze information to screen. Will continue working on implementation of Djikstra’s algorithm
- Tyrone: Will try to finish IR detection for robot detection by next week
