PROJECT 3 - STAGE 1
* notes from Week 6 Lab, 2015-02-27
* each team can IMPLEMENT one or more versions of GuideMe --
GuideMe.java or
GuideMe1.java, GuideMe2.java, etc.
BUT they must choose just ONE for the "master" obstacle/feature
course to conclude this Project 3 - Stage 1
* OK to grab parts from different team members'
GuideMe.java from Individual Assignment 3,
OK to create a new version!
* NOTE: required to KEEP the minimum requirements --
INCLUDING:
* left button release should cause it to go left,
* right button release should cause it to go right,
* enter button release should cause it to go forward,
* escape button press should end the program;
...BUT you choose how sensors affect the robot's progress;
* obstacle/feature course CAN include
* garbage can(s)
* LEGO Mindstorms kit boxes
* OK, no chairs (sigh!)
* (except for kit boxes, won't be less than 8" tall)
* We will MEASURE, for each team's selected program:
* TIME to COMPLETE the course (we'll call that the speed
to complete the course)
* NUMBER of COLLISIONS while completing the course
* NUMBER of BUTTON PRESSES needed to complete the course
(must be at least 1, to start its initial movement)
* NUMBER of FALLS (or catastrophes requiring something
than the specified button presses, such as picking up
the robot or turning it by hand) to complete the
course
* we hope this is 0!
* NUMBER of RESTARTS of program necessary to complete
the course
* we hope this is 0!
