Rover Stuck Detection #116

Open Byrdman32 opened 1 year ago

Byrdman32 commented 1 year ago

Implement a system that would detect if the rover is stuck. More research into potential ways to detect and implement fixes will be necessary.

There are quite a few ways to detect it is stuck. A few suggestions might be:

GPS hasn't changed and we aren't in idle
Wheels continuously spinning without movement for certain amount of time

Ok, I think the GPS is a good idea, however, I don't think that it should be the sole decider of whether the rover is stuck. If the GPS determines that the Rover is stuck, I think that this should trigger a conditional that calls for a second test before deciding the rover is stuck. From there I think we should start by trying to move the rover in the reverse direction before we try anything else.
