+ | LeJOS has put a lot of effort into making the bluetooth communication easy to use, and the implementation were therefore quite straight forward. Observe the resulting code below. | ||

+ | We experienced a lot of slowdown in the balancing thread whenever the bluetooth communication was running, and we had to disable it entirely at numerous occasions to avoid the robot falling over.\\ | ||
+ | We later discovered that the problem could be worked around by disabling some of the other behaviour threads to release more resources, and make Marvin rebalance itself while driving around remote controlled. | ||
