Current Work Logic Code has been modified so that it no longer knows the order to proceed through the buoys Next steps The code uses a viewing angle of 180º, and we found out that with two camera’s we will have 80º total. So code must be modified to work with a smaller viewing angle Incorporate Yellow buoys as obstacles.
