Route Planning
Create the program for the robot on the Autonomous Traversal mission.
Current Roles
- Tadeusz - UI
- Bryan - Final scanning of tennis ball
- Gary - Simulations
- Spencer - Robot pathmaking and maneuvering
Overall Strategy
- Start by scanning environment and attempting to identify ball
- If not found, drive in a straight line towards target coords
- If there's an obstacle in the way, drive in straight line which dodges obstacle
- Once the bot's gone an acceptable distance, rescan + repeat
- When ball is identified, drive to it
Notes from Game Manual
- Ball is 10-50 cm above ground level
- Finish of one leg = start of next
- Teleop scouting allowed in initial stages, but must have full auto to path to marker
- Robot must say when it's within 2m of target w/ visual signal on rover
- Allowed to use teleop in between stages to "reset" bot
