It was further suggested that we could let the robot race as fast as possible up the first part of the track and stop once the gyro registers that the surface is horizontal. This has various implications, including:
* should we attempt to have the robot calibrate which direction is forward and then race, or should we simply let the robot rely on us placing it so that it faces straight forward?
* Should we attempt to have the robot calibrate which direction is forward and then race, or should we simply let the robot rely on us placing it so that it faces straight forward?
* when will the robot be able to register that the surface is now horizontal? Perhaps there will be a delay, for instance due to the robot "flying" over the “hill top” and *then* landing on the horizontal platform

Continuing along the lines of going straight at high-speed, we decided to investigate how fast we can make the robot go when using the LineFollower; i.e. we will attempt to minimize wasteful oscillations from side to side.
## Resulting plan
Finally, we briefly continued our discussion on how to perform the turns on the platforms. It was suggested that we use a pressure sensor (like the bumper used in lesson 7) to know when the robot had turned far enough. Another suggestion was to make use of the tachocount.

## Resulting plan
Later on, it might be interesting to experiment with different ways of turning on the platforms.
We decided to begin by testing the use of different sensors, with regards to following the track and making turns on the platforms. Later on, it might be interesting to focus on testing the efficiency of different ways of turning on the platforms.
We ended up with the following concrete, initial plan:
