We're finally programming! Yes, that's right, today we began to program our robot. We're working in two teams, one creating a run near base, one working on some missions on the far end of the table. We originally had some problems with our bluetooth connection drifting the robot to the right, so we ended up not programming directly through bluetooth. Both runs are coming along well.
We also worked on adding sources to our main research document. We had an idea completely unrelated to our bone research, allergy test sticks, but apparently, they've already been created. So why doesn't anyone know about them? Seems like everyone with food allergies would be rushing to order a packet! Oh well, there goes our million dollar idea.
To wrap everything up, we attempted a teamwork activity: all six of us stand on a rug (2' by 3'). The rug is our island, and it is floating in a sea of hot lava. As long as we stay on the island, we're fine. But if we step off... The problem is that our island is upside down. So, we have to turn it over. We finally acheived this, but with only a 50% survival rate. Planning to try that again.
Overall, we're finally settling into a regular routine. Hopefully we'll get some work done now!
