### Setup & Approach

|
The only difference between Phillippe's and our robot is that we are using the big battery pack, where Philippe is using the AA-battery pack. This required us to change the cross-beam behind the robot very slightly. Other than that, the robots are similar. On the following 6 pictures we see the robot and our testing environment. The first image shows our lighting situation, where we closed the curtains to rely on flourescent light only. This was suggested by Philippe Hurbain, in the section "Usage" [1]. Images 2-5 shows the robot with a table as the sensed surface (where the light emits from). In the last image, we've used a piece of white cardboard as our surface, to test Phillipe's other suggestion, that contoured/non-uniform and clean surfaces work the best. We expected the white surface to reduce performance, since it is too uniform.
