Equipment Updates

Hello. Since our last post our team members have been very  luck in the Pimoroni black Friday yarr booty twitter challenges. This has left us with £45 of vouchers which we are using for the team!


With this we have decided to buy one main thing. A pan tilt hat.

Our thinking behind this purchase is primarily for the maze challenge. We hope that it will enable us to turn our sensor mounted on the hat to enable us to work out which way to go. This should make the maze challenge easier because we are using one sensor instead of our original 3 or encoders on the motors. By the way the sensor we are using (primarily because we had it spare) is the Sharp GP2Y0A41SK0For a ultrasound and we will update you later on the choice.
