Logbook

Welcome to the Logbook Page. Here you can see our challenges and progress throughout the project.

Date	Progress	Issues	Plan for Next Time
2025-11-13	Setup software for programming the robot (ArduinoLab for Micro Python and LightBlue/BLE Scanner) The robot we are using is Robot C Started working on creating the website on Github to record/document the project	Connecting to the robot via Bluetooth. Swapped softwares and did troubleshooting again. Result: FIXED 11/13	Work on programming the robot Work on website
2025-11-20	Worked on logic for programming the movement of the robot. Tested the robots light sensors.	Connecting to the robot via Bluetooth. Swapped softwares and did troubleshooting again. Result: FIXED 11/20	Work on programming the robot Work on website
2025-12-01	Worked on logic for programming the movement of the robot. Testing code to make robot navigate boxes and recognizing cues (breeze, glitter, and smell). Got the robot to move in a Figure 8 Pattern.	Getting the robots wheels to move. Result: FIXED 12/1 Getting the robot to recognize the pits, wumpus, and treasure squares. Result: FIXED 12/1	Work on programming the robot Work on website
2025-12-03	Worked on logic for programming the movement of the robot. Testing code to make robot navigate boxes.	Getting the robot to move in the correct direction due to code logic issue Attemped mathematical solution based on direction Ended up hardcoding each scenario RESULT: FIXED 12/3 The robot drifts to the right when moving. Checked Encoders with no conclusion. Tried increasing the right wheel motor's power whilst maintaining the left wheel motor's power. RESULT: IN PROGRESS ~ FIXED AS OF 12-07	Work on programming the robot Work on website
2025-12-04	Worked on logic for programming the movement of the robot. Testing code to make robot navigate boxes. Programming algorithm for determining the correct path to the gold.	Getting the robot to move in certains driving patterns. (outline of the grid, figure 8, simple navigation) Logic Error and Settings Incorrect RESULT: FIXED 12/4 The robot drifts to the right when moving. Checked Encoders with no conclusion. Tried increasing the right wheel motor's power whilst maintaining the left wheel motor's power. Ended up having the robot re-adjust in each tile. RESULT: FIXED 12/4	Work on programming the robot Work on website and write-up.
2025-12-07	Worked on logic for programming the movement of the robot. Programming algorithm for determining the correct path to the gold, avoiding pits and wumpus, and correctly marking dangers.	Regular logic and troubleshooting errors. Attempted to apply the code to a 6X6 board and didn't work as well initially. Note: The challenge is supposed to be for 4X4 so not as much concern as getting the 4X4 to work. RESULT: FIXED 12/7	Work on programming the robot Work on finalizing website and write-up.
2025-12-08	Worked on converting the simulation to the physical robot. Tested the robot on the physical board - SUCCESSFUL RUN.	Connecting to Bluetooth Just took some time to get it to connect. RESULT: FIXED 12/7 Extremely low battery causing little to no movement by the robot. Replaced with a new battery. This resulted in the robot going much faster than before. Due to this, the code had to altered to slow the robot down to compensate for the faster spped. RESULT: FIXED 12/8	Finalizing the write-up after the contest. Otherwise, everything is in order.
2025-12-11	Worked on finalizing the write-up in the Discussion section. Tested the robot on the physical board - SUCCESSFUL RUN.	None	Submit work to be graded.
