Preliminary tests using the Bluetooth communication module with Arduino are underway. A basic code was set up to determine user input from a keyboard and print a response describing an action. The action itself is yet to be implemented but this test demonstrates a proof of concept. Since we have tentatively established nine actions for the robot to possibly carry out, we used the number pad from 1-9 as inputs for the script. More tests will follow.
