Team Challenge: Circuit Race

The "Circuit Race" experience was great as we applied our knowledge from past activities - a true test of our knowledge. Although the task seemed easy, it wasn't, as it was actually a very tedious task. We had to obtain certain pieces of information before we could start programming and the program was really long - ironic as the course is just a square, yet there's so much to do with the robot; also, we had to modify our current task-bot in order to get it to make turns and move forward the way we wanted it to - we had some minor problems with the wheels as it caused our robot to stray from the course. All-in-all the experience proved what we can do as "amateur programmers".. not to mention the competitive experience as well..

Anyways, here are some images of the program that i used in the circuit race...







And here are some our pics of our task-bot... (note: we used the smallest wheels from the kit.. the picture was taken before the circuit challenge -- the wheels in the picture are the biggest from the kit)
