rest day, fighting a wimpy cold virus. worked on robot

Today I battled a the beginning of a cold and I won. I had to take the day off and rest my body. I ended up spending time working on my robot. I was able to get the a digital compass installed so now it will now what direction it is going. I also figured out how to take my resting heart rate and send it wirelessly to my robot. My robot will log my heart rate during my workouts and even travel the speed that will keep me right below my threshold pace. I have learned a lot about different type of sensors, dc motors, and programming micro-controllers. I think I will be coming up with some cool inventions in the future. My resting heart rate was 41 beats per minute.
