Proof of Concept Reflection

Right now our robot has basic functionality to create art from input from a website. This is the base of what we want our project to do and is a good proof that this idea is feasible. The chassis we bought worked well for minimal set up. However, the motor controller is not functioning very well. We are currently looking into alternatives though we really liked the simplicity of the motor controller board.

Our goals for the completion of this project:

Hardware:
        2-3 changeable colors. This would add an additional attribute in creating art
        light sensor to keep Ada from going off the edge of the paper

Software:
       Write functions to easily interact with Ada from a coding stand point
                  javascript
                  c++

Lessons:
       Create a lesson plan that revolves around Ada
                 create exercises for AI and coding
       Test it for difficulty and fun
