The Fall 2017 Semester was the design stage. Now that the semester is finished, we
have every aspect of the car figured out for each subsystem. Each component has be
proportionally modeled and combined to show an estimated finalized product. In the
Spring 2018 Semester, the car will be built. After the car is assembled, every aspect
will be tested to assure that it's functioning properly. Test runs will be done on
the track. Future plans for the progression of the robot car are to first verify the
ability for the designed tracking system to accurately follow a given line. Once the
car is able to follow the line, the team will get the car to go as fast as possible.
If the code can be improved to increase speed, it will be optimized. If weight can
be taken off, for example drilling holes on the chassis, it will be done. If the team
sees a minor change that could provide substantial improvements, they will also be
taken into account.
