Route Planning

Create the program for the robot on the Autonomous Traversal mission.

Current Roles

• Tadeusz - UI
• Bryan - Final scanning of tennis ball
• Gary - Simulations
• Spencer - Robot pathmaking and maneuvering

Overall Strategy

1. Start by scanning environment and attempting to identify ball
2. If not found, drive in a straight line towards target coords
3. If there's an obstacle in the way, drive in straight line which dodges obstacle
4. Once the bot's gone an acceptable distance, rescan + repeat
5. When ball is identified, drive to it

Notes from Game Manual

• Ball is 10-50 cm above ground level
• Finish of one leg = start of next
• Teleop scouting allowed in initial stages, but must have full auto to path to marker
• Robot must say when it's within 2m of target w/ visual signal on rover
• Allowed to use teleop in between stages to "reset" bot
