3. Robotics Subsystem: Hardware and Software Used


The robotics subsystem consisted of two Lego MindStorm robot kits that interfaced to a Linux machine called Abraham through an IR (Infrared) link.

The software used to interface with the robots is a language called Not Quite C (NQC). Jason O'Kane provided the NQC program with robot commands to make the robot perform up to three moves at a time. The data transfer was done through the serial IR link that came with the robot kits.
