Haha!  As a present, I will be lenient in grading your final project!  Mike will be demonstrating his Urban Search & Rescue robot for the senior Robotics class at 3 today, and I invite you all to watch!  Good luck Mikey and happy birthday! :-D

Surprisingly, that went better than I thought it would go!

And now I think I know why the robot was veering to the right a bit: I think I set the proportional constant on the PID controller a bit too high before the demostration.

If you thought you ruined my idea about robots, you didn't!  Ha ha!  *Competes for Ross with future job.*

Seriously though, I just didn't like THOSE robots.  16 KB of RAM is killer low.
