Project 2 Results

Over 15 trials with no training, selecting complex motions at random:
Average putt distance: 1.66 feet
Percentage of successful swings: 33%

After 50 iterations of training, altering primitive probabilities and eliminating unsuccessful swings:
Average putt distance: 5.28 feet
Percentage of successful swings: 73%

After learning a dramatic increase in performance is observed. With more iterations, even better swings will become more probable and more unsuccessful swings will be eliminated, further increasing performance. The servo speed, however, limits the robot from ever being a successful player beyond short putts.
