 * What Worked!**

I am happy to say that we had a successful trial! Just over 2 minutes! The line following was very smooth, along with the stops and turns. Additionally, the bluetooth and exchange was a major success. The robots didn't get caught in each other and they transferred all of the golf balls perfectly. Both robots programs worked as well as they could, and we learned a lot from the entire process, especially the bluetooth connections. After some trial and error the bluetooth sync worked flawlessly and our robots did the job. I definitely give credit to our success to the proximity of our line sensors to the line because they followed it tightly, making each trial exactly identical to the last.


 * What Didn't Work...**

One of the overlying inefficiencies in both robots was that they were very slow at following the line because we didn't want them to "jump" the line and go off course. While we still completed, it wasn't as fast as we had wanted. Another problem was the ending "agitation" sequence. For some reason or another it would drift forward and to the left despite our fruitless attempts to program it other wise. It took a long time for the balls to fall in, close to 13 seconds, and that was a very good trial, a lot of the other times the last ball simply wouldn't go in. Other than that, the robots were a definite success.

Our codes for the right and left were essentially the same. The only thing that was different was the angle at which we placed our robot.
