Next step
Before the next mission can be completed the team must fix issues regarding lateral drift. They also must find a way to incorporate the needed sensors and creat the code to make them run propperly. Any design changes will also need to be updated and uploaded aswell.
Pseudo code
1) Drive in a straight line
2) Have ultrasonic sensor pulse while reading in distance
3) If distance returned to device is less than 40mm for the front or 30mm for the side stop motors
4) Turn 90 or 180 degrees depending on which sensor acivated and read in new distance
5) once clear from obstacles drive forward until sensors read in values greater than 30 and 40mm
6) Continue loop until mission completion
