At this point we started wondering whether the wires to the engines were creating a problematic inconsistent weight distribution on the robot, so we tried refitting it, as can be seen in Video 4 and beyond.

#### Testing condition 2: Surface
The light was on.
The light sensor returns very different measurements of different colors, and the bathroom floor has lots of colors (see picture). Therefore we tried the big black thing which gives a completely different setting. Both the color of the surface (which is now black instead of blue-ish) and the consistency in the color (completely black instead of different blue-ish colors) and how even the surface is, as the black thing is very uneven.
As we saw no discernible difference with the lights turned on or off, we left it on for the remainder of the experiments as it was vastly easier to work with.
Because we know from past experiences that the measured reflected light for the light sensor is affected by the color of the surface, we suspected that either the color of the bathroom floor, or the inconsistency in the color (it was blue-ish with some white) could possibly affect the reliability of our balancing robot.

To remedy this, we tried experimenting on a black surface that we dragged into the bathroom, which can be seen in picture (BILLEDE). A notable problem with this surface, however, was that it was rather rough, and as such could have slightly inconsistent reflection.
