Counting

The goal of this activity was to have my robot move past a ball placed on a little pipe and have my robot state weather the ball was red or blue. My robot was supposed to keep track of how many red balls it sensed and how many blue balls.
This task was difficult, and when I finally figured it out it just stopped working.
I had to take a light reading of the red ball and a reading of the blue ball and create a range so my robot could tell which color it was sensing.

One problem I had was that the ball counting gods got mad at me and decided to curse me.


The problem with the counting balls lab was reading the balls and displaying what color they were because you either had to pick them up or you had to read them while the robot was running witch was hard because it was never the right thresh hold but if you brought the ball to your robot sometimes missed the ball and just knocked it over i don't think anyone ever did the lab all the way through but people got very close but they had to do it with a very complicated program
