Today in class we spent about half of the time talking about batteries. We learned how they can be categorized, such by voltage, chemical makeup, configuration of cells and a few other ways. we learned how to calculate voltage and capacity of batteries if their cells are in either series or parallel. We talked about the discharge rate and how that effects battery life. We also learned about some characteristics of the different chemicals used in batteries, and that some chemicals allowed batteries to be recharged as well as have what is called memory effect, which occurs if you recharge some batteries before they are drained, which shortens their life. After we finished talking about batteries we went on to how we were going to wire in our line follower sensors. For the rest of the class time we wired in the line followers and wrote a short program so we could test them to make sure they worked. I wired in the sensors but I didn't attach to bracket that holds the sensors in place below the robot yet.
