Don't forget that there are no lectures this week. Use the time to work in the lab on your project.

We will have the demos in this slot, Monday 12-2pm, next week (week 11).

Assignment 1 submission

Posted by Claude Sammut Thursday 17 October 2019, 04:07:12 PM.

Give for your assignment 1 report submissions has now been enabled. Please use the following command:

give cs3431 assignment1_report <file name>

where <file name> is the name of your document. PDF is the preferred format, but you can also submit Word, Pages, or any readable text format. Also note that if you are enrolled in COMP9434, you still submit to cs3431. The deadline is set to 5pm on Sunday.

Submission of source files

Each student must submit his/her own report, but we also want one submission for the entire group. This should be emailed by one (and only one) member of the group. Create a tar file of your catkin workspace source directory and email that to the class account: cs3431@cse.unsw.edu.au. Only one submission per group is needed, but make sure that your email contains your group name, i.e. the name of the robot you were using and also include the names and zIDs of each group member. If you borrowed another group's robot, use your original robot name.

Leaving the lab clean

Guys its absolutely no problem to come in and create mazes from the boards that are in the lab so that you can do testing but can we please make sure that they go back when you are done. This includes the blue connectors also. Its not fair to expect the soccer team to have to do that if they want to practice.

Thanks,

Colm

The assignment 1 specification has been updated to remove the section on "Additional Requirements". You don't have to worry about that in your submission.
