WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS WEEK

The class talked to Martin about how the tug of war went on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Friday there was a pep rally so the class was gone. Tyler, Arvin, and Lizzie worked on the blog but I was absent.

 

WHAT WE PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WEEK

We wanted to add more weight to our robot so we added a weight holder to hold metal parts and so our robot will be a bit heavy when we run.

However, when we started to run our connection from our brain to our controller was lost so on some rounds we couldn't go. We then had to tether the robot while running and went one round but lost.

WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS WEEK

We have programmed the brain thanks to Mr. Martin for helping us. Shania and Mason helped along with code for our robot to run.

We also were having connection problems with the controller to the brain but there was no other yellow wires. However, we moved the wire around the metal bar and it seemed to work.

WHAT WE PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WEEK

We have come to the realization that it was not our brain malfunctioning, but the programming.  So Tyler will work with Mr. Martin on reprogramming it.

Jess will be working on the blog and try to catch up.

WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS WEEK

Jess and Lizzie were absent on Thursday so Tyler and Arvin finished the gear ratio along with completing the body of the robot.

On Friday, we discovered that our brain was not working. We borrowed Will's brain and tried to see if it would work and it didn't so now we have to figure that out. :((((((

WHAT WE PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WEEK 

Our gear ratio sucked so we need to redo it.

We need to finish our robot, thank you Mr. Martin for extending the due date ((((((:

WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS WEEK

The blog is set up and lookin' fab.

The robot is entirely dismantled, however, our robot frame was stolen and hidden from us for an entire day, thanks to Paul, so we are behind and other than our gear ratio, we do not have a design.
