Zumi

The Zumi came together nicely, with the exception of the camera. The camera worked when the outside case was not on the base. When the case was on, the camera stopped working. Because of this, we decided to use Zumi without the case on, as it only worked in that situation.

In our code, Zumi was programmed to be able to detect red, recognize it as fire, and understand what to do in that scenario. When it does detect fire, Zumi automatically turns 90 degrees to the left and will continue to move forward and navigate safety.

Tamiya Tracked Vehicle

The main issue with the tracked vehicle was that the battery pack could not connect to the wood, as the screws were too large. We tried the tapping screw and the normal screws while trying to expand the holes in the wood to get them in. Eventually, we found the correct screws that fit into the wood and completed the building process.

Additionally, we had an issue connecting the written code to the vehicle. We had written the code for the Arduino, but the code would not create any movement based on the code.

Tamiya Double Gearbox

The instructions were difficult to read, but other than that, the assembly went smoothly.

RedBot

The red bot assembly was smooth and the code was written correctly for the bot. However, similar to the Tamiya Tracked Vehicle, we were unable to transfer the code to any movement based on that code.

In an attempt to troubleshoot, we gave our RedBot to Team 7 to see if their equipment worked on our cart. Even their equipment failed on our cart, which led us to believe that our cart was faulty.

DataBot

We followed the instructions on the QR code given and tested out the DataBot. 

However, we did not end up using the DataBot and we focused on finishing the rest of the project, instead.
