Progress!

Its been an extremely productive couple of weeks!

Most of the hardware of the Robobuggy is complete,  but we're still waiting for interface boards in the mail. Luckily, I have it set up so that you can simply just plug in the component where its needed and it'll be ready to go!

We have been actually road testing the Robobuggy. We walked out onto Forbes and Morewood at around 2AM EST to test the camera's vision in the dark. People were definitely confused, but the testing went extremely well. Nate's algorithms responded well, even with little light.

In addition, we actually pushed the Robobuggy down the free roll, with me and Nate close behind it. We gained some valuable sensor data that Nate was able to use to test to the algorithms.

After going through at least 6 sensors, tonight we finally got a hall effect sensor tested and mounted, and we're ready to play in traffic tomorrow. This time we'll be around Maggie Mo, to test the different types of street lines and the camera's response to them.

AEPi's an absolute mess, but we'll be cleaning that up tomorrow as well. In addition, here's a snap from our sketchy night run:

Also, we'd love to hear from the buggy community! Leave us feedback.
