As the dead line came closer and closer to when my 'bot needed to be finished I became more and more frustrated, frantic, and sleep deprived. I worked for hours in 1st 3 weeks of February! Many all-day-ers and late nights. One night I even said "I'm staying up till it works!" ... I finally went to bed a 2:00AM. I got lots of great coding done but it just WOULDN'T solve a path reliably. I tried and tried - adding new sensors, trying new code - but to no avail. Finally, exactly 8 days before the project deadline I came to the realization that "this just aint going to work!" Ok, time to change gears. BUT, before I finish my story I need to tell you what I DID get done.
