However, as long as we keep our wires organized, I think we can keep building our circuit on a breadboard.

I don&#8217;t want to generate unusable garbage, but I don&#8217;t want to make everything predictable either. Our generative mode is one of the two main modes we want to implement, and if it&#8217;s not good, that&#8217;s going to be a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Software (note that my stuff was overwritten earlier so I am resubmitting now): The object detection is the biggest risk still, as I have tried a lot of methods but nothing is working well still. The contingency plan is to use the color detection that is already working.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Were<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">any<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">changes<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">made<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">to<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">the<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">existing<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">design<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">of<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">the<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">system<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">(requirements,<\/span><br class=\"textLayer--absolute\" role=\"presentation\" \/><span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">block<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">diagram,<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">system<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">spec,<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">etc<\/span><span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">)?<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Why<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">was<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">this<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">change<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">necessary,<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">what<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">costs<\/span><br class=\"textLayer--absolute\" role=\"presentation\" \/><span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">does<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">the<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">change<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">incur,<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">and<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">how<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">will<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">these<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">costs<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">be<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">mitigated<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">going<\/span> <span class=\"textLayer--absolute\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">forward?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>HW: we have decided not to solder.<\/p>\n<p>Music SW: None since last week.
