## Project Overview

Welcome to the official code repository for **Team 65266 Lego Dynamics**! This repository contains all the Pybricks code powering our robot through the UNEARTHED season missions. Our modular approach allows for flexible mission execution and quick color-sensor-based run selection.

## Robot Hardware

### Meet Optimus Prime III

| Component | Specification |
|-----------|--------------|
| **Robot Name** | Optimus Prime III |
| **Firmware** | Pybricks |
| **Attachment Motors** | 2× Large Motors (Ports C & D) |
| **Drive Motors** | 2× Small Motors (Ports A & B) |
| **Sensors** | Up-facing Color Sensor (Quick Start) |
| **Attachments** | Multiple mission-specific tools |

### Motor Configuration
- **Port A**: Left Drive Motor (Small)
- **Port B**: Right Drive Motor (Small)
- **Port C**: Left Attachment Motor (Large)
- **Port D**: Right Attachment Motor (Large)

## Code Structure

Our codebase is organized for maximum efficiency and modularity:

```
Repository
 ┣ run_1.py          # Individual mission runs
 ┣ run_2.py          # Each file = 1+ mission completions
 ┣ run_3.py
 ┣ ...
 ┗ master.py         # 🎯 Combined master file with color-start logic
```

### Workflow
1. **Individual Run Files** → Contain specific mission sequences
2. **Script Combination** → Merges runs into master file
3. **Color Sensor Logic** → Adds intelligent run selection based on color detection

---

## How to Use

### Installation & Deployment

1. **Load the Code**
   ```bash
   # Open the master.py file in Pybricks IDE
   ```

2. **Connect to Robot**
   - Pair your robot via Bluetooth in Pybricks

3. **Upload to Robot**
   - Click "Download and Run" or send the program to the robot

4. **Start Your Run**
   - Hold a colored LEGO brick up to the color sensor
   - Different colors trigger different mission runs!

### Color Start System

| 🟥 Red | 🟦 Blue | 🟩 Green | 🟨 Yellow |
|--------|---------|----------|-----------|
| Run 1  | Run 2   | Run 3    | Run 4     |

> **Tip**: Organize your colored bricks before the match for quick run selection!

## Competition Notes

- ⏱️ **Quick Start**: Color sensor enables rapid run switching without reprogramming
- 🎯 **Modular Design**: Easy to test and modify individual missions
- 🔧 **Flexible Attachments**: Multiple tools optimized for different challenges
