Atlas Stones Challenge - Day 6

Today we continued to program. A few classes ago, we identified that the cause of jerking movements was due to an abundance of friction. We were able to eliminate this problem by adding a small piece that acted as a spacer. Doing this almost doubled our speed along with smoothing out the ride. At a point, this caused the robot to move too fast. We ended up decreasing the power so it would still follow the line. Once our robot is able to successfully complete the course, we plan on gradually increasing the power until it reaches its maximum speed.
