Week 16 - October 24-29

Work continued on the mechanical module to try and get the mounts and pillow block working. Some additional hardware such as screws and bolts were needed and purchased to finalize building the mounts for wheels, and after doing this, another demonstration of the wheel turning was done to verify it can be replicated. What was not being performed, however was the autonomous function not controlling the wheel direction correctly, but this is because the code for motor control is not fully completed yet. Once the right code is added, testing will be done to show the needed wheel directions and stops can be done through the system. The motor drivers were also worked on to make small adjustments to the connections before further testing was done.

Victoria also updated the IR proximity sensor mounts that would hold sensors to be placed on the corner by opening up the space the sensor can be placed, and is continuing to design the rest of the sensor mounts.
