Day 13 - Alex's Journal
Today we worked on more programming. We finally realized that there is a way to debug the program, so we were doing many tests with the debugger today. We succeeded in creating a new program that should run much faster than the old program. With this program, instead of taking the input from each of the 5 sensors and storing it in 5 separate arrays, we converted the five inputs into a single binary number and stored it in a single array. This saves a lot of memory space and makes the program run faster. However, we are having some issues getting the bot to do as well as it was with the old code. This could be related to the delay time.
