Lava Palava preparation

We have been coding the robot to follow a line for the lava palava challenge. In this challenge, your robot has to follow a line autonomously which so far, we have managed to do with a code that our coder, Ariel has written. 
Here you can see the code in action:

Now we have to find a good speed for it so we can do it in the fastest time possible. After that we will have two programs for the lava palava, one which is fast and the other would be slow in case the fast one fails.

Building the prototype and coding additional pieces

Here we get a look inside the 
prototype,which we are using for testing before we create the real robot out of acrylic. We are using Raspberry Pi components such as a Raspberry Pi circuit board.

Recently we've been coding our  additional parts such as a claw for the Eco-disaster challenge which we can dismount or mount depending on  which challenge we'll do first. Here is some footage of our claw opening and closing and going up and down.



After that, we began testing and practising for the challenge Eco-Disaster. We created some barrels ( using a 3D printer ), both red and green. Using these, we tested our skills with it with the claw shown in the video.
