Atlas Stones Challenge - Day 4

Last class was the first trial day. We finished the general construction portion of the challenge, so we continued to work on coding. By the end of that class, our robot was able to lift and bring back one mass (50 grams); one third of the programming was completed. However, towards the last twenty-minutes, while running the track, the robot would make small, quick, jerking motions during turns. We knew that the distance of the wheels from the NXT Brick may have been causing a large amount of friction, but we were unsure if it was the cause of the jerking as well. For next class, we may rethink wheel placement and swivel size. We will definitely continue working towards a completed, efficient coding.
