DECEMBER:

In the month of December, we devoted the majority of our time to adjusting the Micro-Mouse and addressing a few minor problems. We made some modifications to the code so that it would operate in a straight path and turn at the appropriate angle whenever it encountered an obstruction. Although we did not accomplish a great deal during that particular month due to the limited number of lab sessions, we were successful in installing a rear touch bar (also known as a back bumper) to facilitate navigation. Because of this, the Micro-Mouse was able to avoid becoming trapped as it reversed forward into obstacles. We were able to be successful in completing the object avoidance task by implementing these improvements.
