    Solar Tracking System
    (2014) Rosenblatt, Anne; Aaron, Nicole; Everbach, E. Carr
    Our goal was to create a solar tracking system that eliminated the need for manual adjustments and did not continuously rotate without regard for weather conditions. We decided we would accomplish this by programming a solar tracker to run initially based on a more intelligent clock system (that would not continue rotating in times without sunlight). Then we could incorporate a self-correcting feature for fine-tuning the direction the system was pointing. Finally, we wanted to connect this solar tracking system to a solar pipe to test whether that could make it a more efficient light source.
