Interesting things

I realized that fine-tuning the PID controller for smooth and accurate movement was actually harder than building the robot.
There were a lot of sensors and not that many pins, so utilized a MUX.
After experimenting with some sensor configurations, I observed that configurations with increased spacing from center worked better that have constant distance between them
