Escape route - Proof of concept
Orson put together the first version of the code for escape route. Autonomous solution using distance sensor and sideways motion using mecanum wheels. Nice home setup to test the proof of concept!

Zig zag we go!
Today we focused on getting the mecanum wheels to function correctly. We created separate functions for motor control of each individual wheel. We then made a function that takes in a (x,y) pair and speed as input and accordingly makes the robot move forward, backwards, sideways or diagonally. In the video, we are demonstrating zig zag motion (diagonal movement).
Minesweeper GUI
Aaron has been fiddling with his idea of attempting minesweeper with a simple web based UI. Made fantastic progress with the prototype to pass on the input to pi from a browser. Pretty cool stuff!
