This weekend has been pretty hectic and I have not really had much of a chance to do much on the robotics project. I updated the software suite on the Chumby and actually got a copy of the lighttpd web server running based on instructions at Chumby as a web server. Gotta hand it to the Chumby folks, their instructions are pretty easy to follow. The web server will come in handy to set up parameters prior to the competition. Also need to lock down the wi-fi capability so that only my guys will be able to control the bots.
In light of the KIPR Open ruleset, I have been trying to come up with a top level architecture to suit the design of the robots. Yep, I have decided that I need more than one to do the job. One of the overall criteria is that the robots must react to events that they have no control over, hence this is going to force me into some AI programming. Wish me luck, I have an architecture in mind but I am not sure that I can explain it to the Woodson Seniors so that they can get a grasp of how it fits into the problem. Anyway, I have to watch what I say on this website from here on out since I do have competition waiting in the wings.
