During last class we continued to work with out robots and Labview, however out assigned task were different. We were asked to measure the distance and speed of our robots with a ruler and then calculate the percent error. This was a fun hands on activity that I really enjoyed. The percent error was different every time according to the power we set in lab view and the distance the robot traveled.
