Hana’s Status Update for April 18

This past week has been a bit of a challenge because I realized there were errors in my understanding of how the trajectory would be found given the inputs, and as a result, realized my calculations were all off. Therefore, I’ve had to pivot a bit and reanalyze my code. I’ve already fixed, or at least I hope I have, the calculations for the ball’s trajectory for its change in vertical distance (Y) and its displacement to the front (X). I am still working on the displacement to the side (Z). Once I have these vectors, my plan is to do simple vector addition of the 3 components to get a final landing location. I will be testing it out with different velocities and angles in all 3 directions. Furthermore, I will be assigning a fixed speed to the Robot, and given the time of flight, will be displaying whether or not the robot could reach the object in time based on the final location. Something new to the design is to take the actual landing location in (X,Y) coordinates in a real life grade that Dan and Luca will be supplying me with. This will serve as further verification for the simulation and should be a good test.
