Week 2: Day 8

June 20, 2012

We received direction this morning to proceed utilizing the Lego Mindstorms only.  We are to try to get them to link together to perform tasks.  We are to try to utilize sensors or optics to determine obstacles size.  Potential issues include the resources for this.  We don’t know if we have any of the necessary materials for this.  

More direction from Prof. Thompson:  Perhaps determine a way to go find a lost rocket - our original idea.  We are conducting research into the feasibility of this compared to working with the NXT’s.  We will have a decision sometime tomorrow.

After lunch, we went to the Discovery Park Engineering Library for another session on using the library resources.  As a group, we also discussed stumbling blocks everyone was facing and the confusion on what our final products are to be.  There is a lot of confusion about the final paper, as far as content and format, and Sharon will get with Dr. Acevedo as soon as possible to clear this up.
