Participants are given a collection of Legos and a HandyBoard. The object of the competition is to retrieve blocks from a mapped arena. The unmapped food has high powered LED's.
Navigation is obtained through adjusting power to the left and right drive wheels.
Measure the velocity of and distance traveled by each wheel. Adjust the power to each wheel to maintain attitude control. Calculate the high level commands to obtain objectives. Both the left and right drive wheels connect to shaft encoders. The processor periodically reads the encoders to calculate the distance traveled by each wheel and the rotational velocity of each wheel.
