The above picture shows the VEXduino board attached to a VEX Small Bot, which will be used in our final project. The board was constructed by my partner Kevin while I essentially sat around and waited for RobotC to download. A simple test was done to determine everything was in working order. In this test, a program was downloaded to the board that caused the servo to alternate from its initial position of 0 degrees to 180 degrees.
After it was determined that the VEXduino board was working properly and mounted to the robot in a way in which it would not short out, we were to create a code in RobotC that would allow the robot to maneuver a maze that was constructed out in the hallway. After some trial and error, I wrote a code that allowed the robot to do so, but then I accidentally deleted it...I rewrote it with a few changes to the turning commands, and the robot made it through the maze quite well. It was not perfect, but it did end up in the desired finishing position.
