We left on Thursday and made it home to Montgomery County Maryland that evening. Thank you to the parents who picked us up at the airport.
The following week, we had a Exploring Program meeting where we looked at our results and formed some lessons for next year.
More Lessons for Next Year
- Lots of bots -- we need many solutions to get a great one
- Problems with string getting caught
- Problems with light calibration for line following because of the starting light.
- Need more time working the bots and team members together

- Consider location logic
- Combine sensor readings
- Use multi/interpolated sampling
- Set up beacon/tether/flag to find home location
- Try distributed mindshare
