Week 4

After quite a few failed attempts we finally managed to get our line follower to follow the lines on the track, but at a slow pace of 1 minute. We solved this a little but raising the light response level to 40 which changed the nxt's time to 42 seconds -which was still very slow. After a lot more vain attempts we managed to narrow the time down to 31 seconds -still pretty slow.

After timing and retiming, we decided to give one last shot and make our fastest program yet, but due to us being pressed by time we weren't able to try out the program.

Week 3

We began a major project -getting a nxt brick to follow a line- first we had to use lego to build the chassis for the brick and then the wheels and finally fit in the sensors, this was quite fun as we got to use lego and slightly relive our childhoods. But I digress we completed our nxt brick and it in the end -after many misplaced pieces (yes we used the nxt building manual)- the line follower was complete.

We then began to start piecing together the program for the line follower -using a modified 2 step version of pilot 4- which we were not able to do successfully on our first few tries.
