Saturday: Robot Competition

Today we were to have our competition. I showed up at 10:30am roughly, and my partner was already there. He had added to our code the previous night and was doing more troubleshooting before the competition started. It was a continuation of Thursday and Friday, what with the sensors all being on the fritz. When the competition time came, we had to keep our fingers crossed. Unfortunately, that wasn't good enough, and our bot just went in circles. We tried to do an emergency reprogramming, and managed to do so, but it still wasn't good enough. We couldn't get the properly colored can. On the other hand though, almost all of the other teams shared our fate, save for one, which by some miracle, actually did what it was supposed to. Here's what our bot did.
