Devank Status report for Feb 25th

This week was a little slow. We picked up the wood and started work on the frame. I wrote up a decent chunk of the code for the shot calculation algorithm. Ran into a few bugs with line creation between two points and then checked whether or not an object lies on that line since we have to account for the radius of the cue ball and the radius of all balls in the ball’s movement. As of right now, the heuristic will simply not account for chained shots, and if we can figure out the entire system then that could be modified. All parts of the frame including the tools required have been sourced. Plan on building by Feb 26th. We got a little delayed with the construction of the frame because of extraneous circumstances this week however, with the progress made on optimal pool shot calculation we should be okay overall. For the next week, I plan on finalizing heuristics, finish the construction of the pool table frame, and iron out logistics with Jimmy for the integration of CV into the system.
