Problem 2: Soccer Goal Light (Hardware Level 2 Software Level 3)
Your team has been asked to design a control system for the local soccer field that can detect when the ball has entered the goal. A light must blink for 10 seconds after a goal is scored. Remember, the goalie and others will also be crossing the goal frequently. You may need to modify the ball so that your device can differentiate between the soccer ball and other objects.

Reflection:
Throughout the entire build we only encountered a single problem, and that was just finding the correct sized ball to use in our goal. Of the two balls we found in the classroom, one was too big so we couldn't use that one from the start. The second ball was on the small side for triggering the line followers that were our goal sensors. We corrected this by shooting the ball very close to the line followers instead of anywhere else in the goal. In the very beginning, we used limit switches as the sensors for our goal, these worked fine but Tatsuki thought it would make his job of coding easier by using a analog sensor. This is the point where I switched over to line followers as the sensors. I dont feel that any further modifications need to be made. All in all, I think it was a solid project that I learned a lot from.
