Obstacle Course Results and Conclusion

Last class we finally ran our robot on the obstacle course. After countless trial runs we were pretty frustrated, because our robot decided to do different things every time we ran it. On one run, it would go so far to the left it wouldn't even register the box of tape, yet on the next run it would work perfectly half way and then simply stop, and on some runs it did it perfectly. Finally we decided just to accept whatever happened and ran the robot for a grade. Luckily, our robot worked flawlessly until the very end where it knocked over the bottle instead of avoiding it, but we were very happy with a 9 out of 10 overall.
