Exit 65A Robotics InvenTeam

Happy Holidays from the Exit 65A Robotics InvenTeam! Although winter break is fast approaching, this InvenTeam has no plans of slowing things down. On the administrative side, our leads reevaluated our current situation and progress. As a result, they've decided to adjust the team timeline to reflect a more realistic timeline that better showcases our progress. On the communication side of things, Exit 65A Robotics has officially been published by a local media source! TAPinto Livingston shared an online press release about our accomplishment as an official Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam which can be found on their website. Above are photos taken on our Insta360 GO 2 action camera (nicknamed the fisheye camera by the team) at one of our team meetings! While we are serious about working and making progress on MaPSS, we are still teenagers who like to have a little fun at heart :)With the team restructuring, our technical team divided into subgroups as well. In doing so, different team members were able to focus on applying their strengths to the project. Our coding team in particular has been working on understanding the different pins (and their function) as well as radar speed detection. This information is important to differentiate between a passing car vs. a pedestrian. Our coding team is using Arduino to program our Infineon Technology Sense2GoL Pulse Board. Our current progress allows our radar to change color based on the direction of a moving object (forwards, backwards, or not at all)! Additionally, we've decided to test in both indoor and outdoor environments to account for the real life application of MaPSS. Outside, the radar is has an approximate max sensor distance of 17.5 ft that can detect both walking and running. Indoors, the max distance is slightly shortened to 15.5 ft.
