Wimp Mode Results

     Brittany Forkus 							Red Cohort

	This wimp mode project implemented many of the functions of the create that we have been learning about in class. It forced us to use while loops, angle and distance commands, and the bump sensors effectively. As frustrating as the project was, it greatly heightened my knowledge about coding and I became a lot more patient with the debugging process that comes along with any type of coding. I really struggled with this project because it has so many situations that need to be accounted for. However, I learned valuable lessons on how to declare functions and use them. Declaring functions really makes life a lot easier, because instead of being really repetitive, its much simpler to use a function and it eliminates a lot of room for error. The hardest part for me was I I made a massive while loop that was really hard to follow. I constantly had to check and make sure that the create was updating its sensors and resetting its odometer at the appropriate times.

Some of the major things I learned:

• I learned how to declare functions
• I leaned about the cr8->angle and cr8->dist_ functions
• I learned the importance of delays
• I learned that resetting the odometer a hundred times in random places is NEVER a good idea
• I learned that between 12 a.m. and 2a.m. I get the best robot
• I learned how to use the cricket display to help me with my projects
