Challenge Summary

The robot was supposed to be able to drive autonomously from point to point marked out by orange traffic cones in the fastest manner possible

Things we learned

  • Iterate quickly. It shouldn't take a really long time for code to be created and tested. It doesn't need to be perfect, it needs to be testable.
  • Use ROS: this sped up our development time a lot once everyone embraced it
  • Keeping people engaged is hard without clearly defined tasks that members can achieve
  • Managing a project is difficult without a guide or plan of action for the team, and this can affect the whole team's development. Spend the summer planning out the team's milestones and goals while you have time to do so.
