Day 17 - More coding

Well sent the Cool Robot out on a night mission last night!  It was so hazy last night that as soon as the robot got to the other side of the skiway we could no longer see it, all we could do was wish it good luck!  We ended up sending it on its way around 11pm last night.  When Jim woke up this morning he noticed that the robot had stopped and was not moving, but he was able to get it moving again from the Big House, which is nice that we don't have to fetch it.  From the data collected by the CR it appears that it only ran for about half an hour before it stopped because the batteries were too low, which it is suppose to do.  We are missing something in the code to make started back up again when the batteries have enough charge to go again where as the batteries did charge enough so that it could resume its course again.

Sending the Cool Robot off on a night mission.

Ben and I have been looking have been looking at the code all morning and have yet to find why the robot did not resume after stopping to charge its batteries.  Hopefully by this evening we will have found out why.  Meanwhile the CR is still hard at work with Jim and Alden doing a grid surveys with GPR.
