Program Module Tracking Algorithm Wall Hugger Algorithm Sense walls If offset sensors turn on, you are no longer centered. Increase speed on side of offset sensors until centered Go as long as there is a wall on the left if there is a wall on the front, turn right if there is no wall on the left, turn left

Mechanical Module Subsystems Chassis Sensor Placement Batteries Motor Electrical Circuitry

Chassis

Completed Chassis

Sensor Layout

Test Sensors

Completed Tasks Sensor layout Chassis Attached Wheels Determined type/placement of batteries Pillars Attained all necessary supplies

What Remains To Be Done Integrating the sensor circuit ( currently underway) Determine how many motor pulses needed to move one cell (pending) Attach motors to circuit (pending) Programming (in progress) Functionality Tests (in progress)

Potential Problems Subsystems not working as planned Parts breaking Too much time on troubleshooting Exams, quizzes, conflicting with working on project Spring Break: team availability not optimal
