Here we are again, beginning of week 3, almost half way through the course already! Seems crazy! Today's class began differently than we have been used to thus far in that we all started a new activity at the same time. We all got new kits to use in order to build a small robot which was quite exciting. We had built a simpler version of this bot in one class before however today's bot had a web cam and wireless capabilities so that it could drive around the floor!! Once the bot was constructed and coded we had to hardwire it in order to test and make sure it was set up properly and troubleshoot any problems, this way we would not drain the battery pack. Once everything was a go we connected to the wireless IP address designated to our particular bot and attempted a wireless run however, there were issues with the battery pack and we were limited to the length of the adapter cord which we connected later.
Once we were finished with our bot activity we returned to our activities which we had started on last class.
