Initial Code Implementation

By Matthew Clegg – Computer & Control Systems

With the assembly of Spiderbot about 80% complete, implementation of the code for its operation is finally being implemented. There have been many difficulties in Spiderbot’s operation. After several runs of the code, it seems Spiderbot is having difficulties with keeping its base off the ground. At this moment there is hope that this issue can be fixed with code, or that maybe there is not enough traction on the surface on which it is being tested.

A video of the first steps of the nearly-completely-assembled Spiderbot can be seen at the following link:
