As usual, the documentation takes forever...

Although the blog has been pretty quiet lately, I've been busy working on the entry for the MAKE Coasterbot build. Here's the Black Dog Coasterbot slideshow.



The slideshow isn't quite complete - I changed the behavior of the robot from 'locate and avoid' to just 'avoid'. Just avoiding obstacles is simpler, and actually shows the robot's capabilities better in a small area with lots of obstacles. I need to publish the state diagram for this.

I also need to update the control schematics to reflect the addition of the front bumpers.

And finally, I need to get a video of the robot doing it's thing.

But it's pretty close to done - should have no trouble getting it completed for the contest deadline on May 7th.
