**Project Partners**\\
Project Initator: Matthias Link

**Initial Situation**\\
Enrichment of open platform robot with communication ability and lateron interaction between 2 different robots to exchange knowledge and reaching a goal more effective together.

**Project Goal**\\
The goal of the project is to have an active robot, database communication on a central server. Based on the database data the server should be able to trigger different actions (e.g. if roboter stucks the server should send an email). Furthermore the project should be documented under Creative Commons license.\\

**Technology Platform**\\
In general:\\
  * Arduino Platform
  * Central Database on Server/PC (SQLite, MariaDB or Hadoop)
  * Webserver with PHP
  * E-Mail Server

There is a free Robo-Kit initially created by botmakers.de. This one should be build up and then enriched with a arduino communication shield.\\

**Project Phases**\\
Phase 1: Build up and program first robot, Create basic infrastucture; Enrich with light sensor to identify brightest place in a given time frame  (20.01.2015)\\
Phase 2: Enable the communication between robot and database (29.01.2015)\\
Phase 3: Trigger something based on events from robot (09.02.2015)\\
Phase 4 (Optional): Use second robot to do the same and and find brightest place. (19.02.2015)\\
Phase 5 (Optional): On event of meet up of the two robots ask for the light-data from the central database where both robots then drive to that spot

**Project Effort:**
  * Project Time Frame: 60 days (until 09.03.2015)\\
  * Effort Barrier:\\
    * Costs: 150 EUR (mandatory phases)\\
    * MD: 15 days (incl. 3 Days of Documentation) for Phase 1, 2, 3 and 15 days for Phase 3, 4\\
