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?
      • Do different compass sensors have slight miscalibrations?
  • 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]
  2. Decide where to put the lab file in source control (so we can all work on it)
  • Data Synthesis - Brad, Patrick
  1. Determine Room Dimensions [Started by Patrick 4/1]
    1. D128 - 22 x 28 (EW x NS)
    2. D129 -
    3. Advanced Lab D124 - 24 x 28
  2. Label origin, quadrants, and regular periodic distances (10 tiles perhaps) [Started by Brad 4/1]
  3. Define CSV format
  4. Create blank CSV template for each room
  5. Create wiki space for lab [Done by Brad 4/1]
  6. Wiki space for showing data files that have been collected
  • Data Analysis - Patrick, Brad
  • Automation - Aaron, Brad
  • Leading/Organizing - Jeremy, Sam, Aaron
