This week, our plan is the same as last week's. That plan is to complete our first autonomous challenge. Today was again a constant switch from making minor adjustment to testing the robot. We first watched the robot perform the code set to the brain, and then discussed what we need to improve to get closer to success. We then adjust the factor that needs to be fixed to the best of our judgment. 

After downloading the newly revised program, we test to see if the program either fixed the problem, helped the problem, or made the problem worse. If our changes fixed our previous problem, we find another aspect that needs help and start the process again. If the revisions help the problem, we must make more of an adjustment to completely fix the problem. And lastly, if what we changed makes our problem worse we must reconsider and figure out our mistake.

This process of breaking things down to find each problem helps us get the best of results, although it does take a lot of time. We try to work as efficiently as possible and stay focused. Hopefully with a lot of hard work we can finish the challenge by the end of this week.

In this picture, team members Anya and Jacob are figuring out what can be fixed to perfect the program!
