Line tracking: current results and problems

After implementation of both software and hardware parts which were mentioned before, we made initial tests. These tests revealed some problems to be improved such as:

-Switching movements between rotational and forward movements while specific light sensor positions
-Too sharp rover turnings which yield inaccurate measurements and extreme slalom trajectory

However, we gained good results. This assignment allow us test machine before final contest. For example we will reuse our code and knowledge in areas such as:

-Using communication between bricks and Earth station
-Evaluating distance and direction to the lakes
-Using sensors in order to detect landscape edges and plateau
-Control of turn motions in order to choose best trajectory to the lake

Results are shown below as a video. Still they are not ideal but we are on the right track
