This class session, 9/13/17, we started out with an overview of whats happening in South Africa with Ron and got estimations of when we will be receiving any documentation that can give us more insight into what the Futran track actually looks like.
We then met Shane and Khang from the Summer Internship 1/12 scale team and they gave us a nice rundown of how everything works. However the podcars were having troubles and we weren't really able to see a full demonstration of the podcars working, so that's something we're going to be working on.
We also threw around the idea of using more RFID chips around the track to help with position tracking
In the next week we'll all be reviewing the code to try to understand it better. I will be looking into the XBee modules to try to get a grasp on how they operate so we can have an easier time running and testing the podcars.
Next Wednesday we have our first big presentation which will just be an update on our progress thus far.
