It Begins...

Welcome engineers and commoners!
Andre Nguyen, Caio Porto, and Ethan Pinsker have taken up the trial of building an autonomous robot that can navigate its way to a "castle" on a 96in x 96in plane, retrieve a crown form a 6in tall beacon, and then navigate back to it's starting position. We just started this project yesterday, but we look forward to implementing a multitude of sensors, writing (and rewriting) our hierarchical state machines, and building h-bridges for our motors in the next month.

Were just finishing up our drawings today and were looking at two different options for our state machines. One that uses a timer with the driven wheels, the other uses an encoder that logs all of our previous movements with our PIC32.
