BeamBreak

Finish the 5 mm beam break soldering. Also, figure out where we're mounting it, test it, make sure our swaggie code works properly.

A few notes from tonight and in general:

• The sensors work up to 20" away.
• They are not too sensitive to an error in position, but are very sensitive to an error in the angle.
• They work through clear plastic.
• The female-female PWM cable was not reliable; perhaps wire it straight to the female end.
• It may be prudent to wait until they are positioned on the robot before wiring them, to make sure the cables are a good length.

A thought: you can mount them at different heights to change how much wiggle room the ball has. Mounting them in the middle gives it 10", but going more towards the top or bottom tightens the range where the beam will be broken.

It looks like the arm will have a separate roller motor from the inside of the robot. If that is the case, this will be easier. The arm can be collecting very quickly, and the inside can go slower (allowing for more precise control).

@arushiGupta18 your assignment for the rest of the night (+ Ria) is to mount both sides of the beambreak sensors, wire them, and make sure that the intake code works. Make sure the you talk with the build team about the right side.

Just an update: Arushi and Ria finished mounting one side. Dan and I tested that the logic for the beam break sensors was correct (and it is)
