Saral’s final status report (12/10)

For the final push on our project, I worked with the team to get the final items off our checklist in making our system as robust as possible. More specifically, Omkar and I worked on tweaking the electromagnet circuit to de-magnetize it more effectively during drop offs (using resistors with a flyback diode), we also added bus capacitance on the regulator output to help with the inrush current spike during the rising edge of enabling the electromagnet, we worked on improving the visualizer to color code each of the robot paths to make the visualizer more usable.

I also worked on minor fixes with the rest of the team like edge case handling for the robots, and also filming videos for our final demos in case we have issues at the presentations.
