TODO

Mandatory:

1. Read the sensor for avoiding hard collisions with walls and opponent
2. Replace the motor battery with the drill battery
3. Connect the coilgun and ballroll to the drill battery
4. Choosing the goal and indicating it on the screen

Secondary:

1. Väravaandurid dokumenteerida

Nice to have:

1. Polish sharp edges from the bottom
2. Make a personality for the robot - [1]

Software

The code is available for the robotics club members from the club SVN repository. The image processing is build up on using OpenCV -d. The installing instructions can be found here. The whole platform is build up using QT libraries.
