As far as we were concerned, the three most important days of the semester were Bonus Day, Final Competition Day, and the Final Presentation Day. While we did not fully achieve our goal of completely outperforming the other teams, we did manage to complete the requirements for ECE 496. While overall our results are satisfactory, it is a little disappointing to not fully achieve our goals after putting in the amount of work that we did.

 

Bonus Day Results

Group A	3
Group B	8
Group C	7
Group D	9
Group E	8
Group F	5
Group G	10
Group H	7

As you can see, we managed to get 7 points on bonus day for our partially balancing Pendubot. We were quite disappointed in bonus day when we still could not get the right gains for our Pendubot to balance. We had tested nearly everyday for two weeks prior to bonus day, in a concentrated effort to get our Pendubot to fully balance. The best we could do was anywhere from 10-20 seconds before the system became too unstable to sustain balance.

Final Competition Results

Group	Response Time
Group A	Couldn't Compete
Group B	1.37
Group C	1.31
Group D	1.72
Group E	1.0
Group F	2.07
Group G	1.12
Group H	1.62

Out of the eight teams, Group H managed to place 5th. While our time of 1.62 seconds is more than acceptable, it did not make us fast enough to be competitive.
