Here it is. The Day X is coming. Everyone is in rush and tries to polish their programme so that it will succeed.
Therefore lab was very crowded for last two days. It was very difficult to find a place to put laptop and rover itself. The Mars Landscape, camera and Earth computer were also intensively used by all groups. We used them also. Namely we made final preparations such as follows.
1) Found best light conditions when rover finds lakes using camera.
2) Determined best initial position for Mars mission
3) Solved problem of stucking at the space between edge and lake. We changed angle of steering and added reverse movement so that rover will not get lost between edge and lake
4) Finalised threshold values for light sensors in order to distinguish lake and edge.
5) Adjusted length of thread for temperature motor
All these preparations were done yesterday in the evening and today in the early morning when we reserved time slots. Also we had a meeting with Jos where he gave us final advice and wished good luck.
Looking forward to final presentation of other groups as well.
