Stabiliser and launcher

I broke out the Lego box today and finished the launcher as well as the stabiliser for the robot assignment. However when the robot is turned on it seems to reverse at full speed. So this could mean that I may have to alter the stabiliser or edit the code. I think if I get rid of the self stabilising code it will negate this as the robot thinks that it’s in a constant state of falling over. The launcher itself looks to be constructed well but firing it is a different matter. Having replaced the rusted batteries, the microcontroller turns on and I am currently downloading the programming software for the Lego robot, so I am hopeful that it will be launching balls soon. The next step for me is to construct the course and carry out the navigation using the Bluetooth tool. The final and probably most challenging step is then to have it running autonomously by editing the code.
