With two separate algorithms created, testing began to determine if they work as they were intended to. The test itself consists of placing the robot in the arena and running the algorithm to see if the robot can move around and respond to sensors efficiently. Upon the initial start up of both algorithms, though, there were many issues, especially involving sensor detection for the ultrasonic and light sensors. Through the process of debugging, some of these issues were worked out to where they would respond, but not fast enough and even at incorrect times. One reason that this could be occurring may be that processes are not being cut short even when a sensor is triggered therefore causing the actions to stack and execute late. Heading into the next week, it is crucial to fix the issues with these programs in order to have a working algorithm to test the effectiveness of the design as a whole by competing against an inanimate object.
