Kate thinks in C. We made her brain in Programmer's Notepad.
Kate can turn, drive forward and backwards when she likes. Kate had trouble turning. She kept overshooting the target heading and swiveled back and forth. This frustrated the team to no end and perplexed the TAs. In the end we came to terms with Kate's mental deficiencies and made the tolerance 20 degrees. Since then Kate was able to turn clockwise and counterclockwise with little problem until the start of the start of the actual competition, during which she seems to have forgotten how to turn, along with other bodily functions. However, we love Kate, despite her idiosyncrasies and unstable mental temperment.
