16-264: Humanoids: Golf Assignment I

The point of this assignment is to explore planning algorithms.

Part 1: Modify the example code golf5 to create your own course. For extra credit, write a course generator that generates multiple courses. See the example code for the course description file format.

Part 2: Develop a planner that minimizes the number of hits to do a course. Try it on your and other's courses.

Things we need to do:

Tune ball dynamics. Make hits (initial velocities) slightly random.

What to turn in?

• Create a web page describing what you did and email the URL to the Prof. and TA. You choose the format of your writeup. Be sure to list the names of all the members of your group.
• We encourage you to create and post a YouTube video showing your work. Be sure to put "CMU 16-264" in the text describing the video, so we can search for the videos.
