SSRD and Project Report Draft

Quick status update this week. I gave a talk on my senior project during Student Scholarship Recognition Day (SSRD) at Willamette, which you can view here. Unfortunately, although my robot was working (avoiding obstacles) the night before, when I went to take a video of it for the presentation (just in case it didn't work when I wanted to demo), it stopped working, so the video in the presentation is just my old one which demos the various movements possible on the robot. I haven't had time to figure out what is wrong yet, but the problem seems to be that it isn't always detecting the floor.

I also finished a pretty rough draft of my project report which can be found here. There is a lot of stuff that still needs to be filled in (images, diagrams, future work, lessons learned, etc) but its a start.

By next week I hope to have fixed the issues with the obstacle avoiding robot, and start work on the simulation to finish up my project.
