Week 5 Motor Programming and Surface Tweeks

Since the 3D printed surface did not come out as we expected we are changing the design of the surface of the maze. This is one of the first ideas for one of the maze or puzzle surfaces. The marble will no longer have to stop at certain locations to complete the puzzle. Instead we decided to stick with the idea of letting the marble roll through the node canals until it hits a stopper. This concept makes for more interesting and different puzzles than what would be expected in traditional mazes.

Also Nick has been working with the motors that will be used to tilt the board different ways. The motors are ready to be programmed. A test code was created to test their functionality and better understand their operation for use in the final device. Next to be completed is individual coding of functions for the motors to execute commands such as "up", "down", "left", "right"; this is what the user in the final project will enter to control the platform
