Weekly Updates

Week 6:

• Brainstormed project ideas, sensors, peripherals, and interfaces

• Created this website and a proposed schedule

Week 7:

• Researched what parts would work well for our purposes

• Developed flowcharts of software implementation

Week 8:

• Bought the parts we determined

• Continued working on software: PID controller implementation and Kalman Filter implementation

Week 9:

• Assembled the mechanical structure of the robot

• Began the initial prototyping stage and establishing communication with our interfaces

Week 10:
