In my freshman year of college, I had to participate in an engineering design project, where I would work with a team to create and code a robot to perform medically related tasks. One of the obstacles faced while working on the project was the inability of the robot to run the code properly. The motor of the robot was old and this prevented it from going in a straight line. This was an obstacle that my team faced. However, instead of inputting a correction code that would fix this problem we decided to change our code to try and accommodate for the erratic behavior of the robot. To prevent this issue, I wish we had looked at the planning process more in depth. We could have incorporated the correction code at an early stage, before it was too late. However, we eventually were able to get a new motor that helped resolve the problem. This led us to be on track and complete the project.
