Today was the fire fighting competition. My robot Chappie was able to place 3rd in the competition. Above is a video of Chappie finding the candle. This was after the competition was over because i had forgotten to record it during the competition.

Today I spent most of the day programming my square bot for this maze. I am using encoders, a sonar, and a light sensor as a basis for this challenge. I  have managed to reach the top right room only but have successfully located the candle if it were to be placed in there.
