Line tracking: presentation and results

Today we  had a presentation of line-tracking. The presentation itself can be found by following link:

As for questions, jury asked mostly about hardware and team management. For example:
-How did you divide your responsibilities among colleagues?
-Why didn't you choose tank-based chassis?
-Why did you use wires when connected encoders to the chassis?
-How did you calibrate your encoder?

The second part was unsuccessful. On the one hand, rover didn't stuck and make a beep sound. On the other hand it suddenly stopped at the middle of the tape and consequently measured only part of the tape length. Thus, crate of beer went to group five.

Later, we repeated experiment and it worked perfectly. This lesson showed as that we cannot 100% be sure that we solved all possible problems and could predict all of them.
