Features of our strategy


- We had a proven winning strategy where we would obtain the minimum number of points required to win,          plus a tiebreaker. We wanted to collect two small and two large balls, giving us 10 points.  Then we wanted      to raise the flag, thereby doubling our score and giving us the tiebreaker. With this, the most any other team    could score was 20 points, and since we would have the tiebreaker, we'd win.

- The way we wanted to accomplish this was by using four distance sensors on each side of the robot so that
   we would know exactly where we were on the game board at all times. Then, all we had to do was program        the locations of the balls we wanted to pick up, the goal, and the flag box into the HappyBoard and direct the
   bot to go to those places.

- In addition, we wanted to have a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system on the robot, but this never got    built. The idea was to have two distance sensors mounted on top of a servo that could rotate around and          locate balls in the area so we could drive to them. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and couldn't implement      this, nor were the distance sensors resolute enough to be able to enable this feature in our code.
