Week 3

Week 3 has come and gone and the final design for the SpyBot is complete.  A few changes were made to the way we wanted to robot to perform its functions and this affected our overall design.  We've decided that instead of physically extracting the sensitive information discovered while exploring the building, the SpyBot will now "download" the information.  Upon locating a target, the robot will determine if the target is hostile or a piece of information relative to the mission.  Hostile targets will be subdued with a hammer like weapon and sensitive information will be downloaded for retrieval at the extraction point.

In order to do this the physical design was simplified by only utilizing 1 NXT Brick to perform all functions.
