We spent all day yesterday getting the robot ready to do autonomous, solar power test running on two panels. The morning and afternoon were spend editing the code to fine tune the power tracking for the two panels. Then in the even, with sun very low in the sky, we ran an autonomous run around the taxiway of the skiway that the planes land on. The two powered solar panels were placed on the front and back of the robot. It barely had enough power to do to the course and get back to the garage with the sun being so low and only have two panels working, but with that said it ran with just two panels!
