Week 5 was a successful week working on the program of the robot. The line follow algorithm was already working well but we needed to integrate other functions into the program so that the robot could do more than just follow a line.
After a few iterations, we've got the robot able to follow a line into a room. Once in the room, the robot will begin to search for an object, find said object, and then identify the object. If the object is the intel (marked by something blue) the robot will then begin to "download" the information. If the object is hostile (marked by a red object) the robot will whack it with a hammer.
This set of functions is up and running pretty well as of now. We also discussed ways of having the robot find its way back to the line so that it can follow it onward into the other rooms. We're going to have the robot locate a wall in the room and begin following this wall until it finds the entrance to the room, where the line will be, and then get back on track with the line.
