The March 1st meeting lasted approximately 1.5 hours. It was decided that Vincent and David S. would work on the communication module, and Kwabena, David F., and Brett would work on the editor in general (main form, editor form).
A modification to the communication protocol was discussed and agreed upon. Because of Bluetooth message size constraints, it was realized that under the current design, "move orders" could only represent distances of up to approximately 30cm without queuing. It was decided that we would implement another system somewhat analogous to a money system to better accomodate larger move orders. For example, the "30cm" can now be broken up into 30 denominations, so that I move order like, "move forward 103cm" might be accomplished like this: "move forward 100cm," "move forward 3cm." Denominations have yet to be decided (e.g. perhaps {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, ... } until 30 denomiations have been represented). The Robot Team has yet to be notified of this change (as of March 2nd).
Meeting at 1PM!
Our next meeting is scheduled for Saturday, March 1st at 1PM in the library. No clear agenda has been set yet, but coding, Visual Basic, the Progress Report, and doxygen will probably be discussed.
