After spending more than 20 hours of hard-work accompanied by tears and sweats, our robot had finally completed the race course perfectly. The robot is not only capable of maneuvering through the course; it is also able to detect any object in its way and attempt to avoid it. What is special about this program is that it can avoid any number of obstacles as the program is set in loop. In addition, the sensor is able to turn and sense whether the direction it is trying to maneuver for obstacle avoidance have other blockage. If it does detect an obstacle, it is capable to turn in the other direction. In a sense, it is a form of artificial intelligence as it is able to decide on which direction it should turn to avoid the can. The program itself is rather complex, consist of multiple loop blocks, motor blocks, sensor blocks, and logic blocks that require multiple wirings. Overall, I believe my partner and I are extremely satisfied with out end-product.

"The program itself is rather complex, consist of multiple loop blocks, motor blocks, sensor blocks, and logic blocks that require multiple wirings.", The idea of the sensor moving back and forth is what I am really jealous about. It can continuously sense obsticles, while ours only had one chance of a shot.
Wait a minute Sir Shih, was it you that spend more than 20 hours of work and tears and sweats and all that or it was "Poor Chris"?
But I should confess that your robot was really really cool, a real art work!
