1.31.12 VEX Team Project programming & phototransistor testing

Today, I started programming for the VEX Square Bot.  After downloading the software to our computer I was able to download the program to our Square Bot.  This first program was without encoders and the functions were based on time in seconds for the movements.  This was very difficult and needed trial and error for all of the paths that we wanted the Square Bot to take.  We ran the Square Bot in the Labyrinth and it didn't do so well as far as the complete course.  We have yet to try the same course with encoders which should make the process less difficult and more precise.
