With the robot programming underway and working pretty well, we needed to being construction of the building so that we can begin running more in-depth tests with the robot.
We began by cutting two pieces of wood into 4 quadrants that will act as the floor of the building and then began cutting foam board and using hot glue to attack the foam board to the wood floors. The foam board will be the walls of the building.
We used a thinner foam board for the perimeter walls and a thicker foam board for inner walls. With just hot glue, we were quite surprised how solid the construction felt and will continue this process an have the full floor plan laid out by the end of this weekend.
We also are expecting to at the very least have the robot enter one room and perform its search function to locate, identify, and either download/subdue the target. Once this is complete its just a matter of extending the program so that the robot will continue to the other rooms in the building and perform the same function.
We are expecting a well rehearsed prototype to show off by our next class.
