Mini Sumo Robot FIght

At the Saturday last week i had a robot tournament hat i was going to participate in. As usual i came there a little unprepared cause my laptop that i was going to make he final adjustments with was refreshed and without any files. So i started to download the programs needed but it ended up in more installing and software problems. So what i did was to just finish up my code on the program, and then without debugging i transferred the file into my USB stick. In that way i was able to upload the program on a mates laptop and then just implement the code trough the laptop instead.

That worked out perfectly and my robot was ready to battle. The one and only problem then was the fact that my distance sensor, the sensor looking for targets, wasn't working because of some connection errors that somehow made the sensor to sense what the line sensor saw. So instead of looking forward it looked down where the line sensor looks, even if the physical sensor part was pointing straight forward. :O

Well, i just made a fail-safe program quickly and got on with the battles. Here are most of the battles from the championship:
