Week 1: Introduction

After 8/30 lecture, we have formed our group and we are in charge of the control of the Full Scale Project. On the next coming week, we will look more in to the controls of existing system on full scale track system and research on some industrial transit system for reference. We need to read and refer to reports and documents to understand the progress from last year.  Our focus will be the control, position, displacement and movement of Podcars on the track. By using applicable sensors and microcontroller, we can determine the position and displacement of the Podcars. We don't have much document about the Full Scale Controls team from last years, so we are planning to refer to other controls team and professors for assistance. Next week, we will be making a presentation about what we found, project description, specification, and end goals.
