The darkness is darkest just before the dawn...

But the dawn is coming! After so many hindrances with our project, our latest meeting proved to be extremely promising. We have finalized the design of our system, with our stepper motors, webcam, and wiring finished. Our image processing code has been optimized to increase our frames per second, and now, instead of being forced to wait for the spotlights to catch up after moving our infrared emitters, the wait time delay is practically non-existent. Things are looking pretty good.

Things that still need to be done:
--Finalize the stage area. Though we have an exact area on which we have finalized our stage area to be on, we have not labeled it on our platform.
--Make a recording. To demonstrate a working model of our system online.
--Fix spotlights. Our spotlights (flashlights) are malfunctioning again. We have concluded that the flashlights are a piece of .... As such, we will have to find some more reliable flashlights to act in their stead.

Another update is expected in the next 24 hours, most likely with a video
