Back In Action

Ben and I are on winter break now after our first semesters in grad school, and we're gonna spend some time working on the robot. Ben brings to the table some cool experience with image recognition from his classes. He showed me about 15 lines of matlab which seems to do image recognition at least as good as the old python. We played with that for a while and might switch over to it. We're looking into the performance implications. At first pass, it runs much slower on his laptop than the old code, and we don't have the matlab to c compiler.
We bought a new charger, but it too says that our 12v battery is busted. We'll probably need to replace it and maybe it'll turn out that the old charger was working after all.
