Robot Construction Track

• Build Bots - Nick B, James, Thomas, Nick C

Meeting Monday at 8pm

Robot Software Track

• Design Algorithm and Write Scripts - Nick M, Sam, David, Dylan

1. Decide on a location for scripts in source control

• Testing, Automation, Editing/Refactoring - Aaron, Nick C, Dylan, Brad
  • Test the compass sensors
    • Do the compass sensors interfere with each other? DUE Monday 8pm
    • Do different compass sensors have slight miscalibrations? DUE Monday 8pm
• Here is the format in which the data gathered by the bot will be stored, (Sensor ID 1, Sensor ID 2, Sensor ID 3, Sensor ID 4, Room ID, X position, Y position, Time Stamp, Expected Value 1, Expected Value 2, Expected Value 3, Expected Value 4, Actual Value 1, Actual Value 2, Actual Value 3, Actual Value 4)
• Brad will be making a python function that takes this input and compiles it into the CSV format

Data Collection Track

• Data Collection - Michael, Tristan, Gil
  • Idea for workload distribution: Teams of 2; one to move the bot around, the other to move tables around and run the script. There should also be a person from the software track present to do any emergency debugging.
  • Gil will check whether compasses can be used near each other Saturday evening.

Infrastructure Track

• Next Meeting: Saturday, 10:00 a.m.
• Members: Aaron, Brad, Jeremy, Patrick, Sam
• Documentation/Writeup - Jeremy, Aaron, Brad

1. Setup initial LaTeX template for the lab writeup [Started by Aaron 4/1]
