This week we got a lot done. As you can see below we finished building the tetrahedron retriever in solid works. We also did the manual challenge for putting the two tetrahedrons on the tower in less than a minute. Even better than that though, right as the bell was ringing we finished the autonomous tetrahedron challenge with just one class of programming. 

Monday April 3, 2017

This week we are continuing to work on the claw bot. We have it almost completely built and programmed. We need to build our tetrahedron to do the challenge. We plan to build our tetrahedron out of straws and tape to make it stronger. Our goals for this week is to finish up our bot on solid works and do the first tetrahedron challenge. 

Friday March 31, 2017

This week was a little slow starting up with the claw bot. We did finish building t for the most part and its programmed, but we will not be able to complete the challenge because we didn't build the tetrahedral needed. On a positive side though we decided to start working on the modifications in Solid works so we aren't super behind. 

Monday March 27, 2017

This week we are setting some new goals. To start we need to modify some things on the robot to even have the ability to put the claw on there. I would also like to get it fully assembled and programmed. To fully complete our goal I think we should attempt to complete the second challenge. 

Friday March 24, 2017

This week we got a lot accomplished. We finished the first challenge successfully on our first try. Also we finished building our robot in Solid works as you can see below in the blog. Next week we will set some new goals and move on to some other challenges. 

 Solid Works Claw Bot

Monday March 20, 2017

This week we are still working on programming our robot to finish the first challenge to go around two chairs three times autonomously. The quarter is ending very soon so we are in a rush but I have faith that we will get it done in time. I also hope we finish our robot in Solid works this week.

Friday March 17, 2017

This week we were moving very fast paced because we are still trying to catch up to some of the other groups. We have come very close to accomplishing the goals for this week but we aren't quite there. Next week we are going to have to work extra hard to accomplish our goals, but I have faith in my team. 

Monday March 13, 2017

Last week we started to program the robot in order to pass the first challenge. Our goal for this week is to complete the next challenge and finish building our robot on Solid Works. We also plan to modify our robot so that the claw can be added to the robot.

Friday March 10, 2017

This week we started programming our robot to move autonomously around two chairs that take up eight squares of the tile. We also started building our robot in solid works. Both of these things are difficult and we plan on tackling these challenges next week. This week I feel that we got a lot of work done.

Monday March 6, 2017

On Monday March 6, we continued to work on figuring out how to code the robot. We hope to figure it out today so that we can work more in depth with it tomorrow to figure out the more intricate things. Our goals for this week is to complete the challenge and drive our robot with the joystick over to Mr. Martin.

Friday March 3, 2017

On Friday March 3rd we started programming our robot and put the finishing touches on. We completed our weeks goals because we finished putting our robot together and began programming it. Like before it is still a little tricky but we hope to get it mastered next week.

This week is the week to let our robot shine. We just finished all the badges and and got more then we expected last week. This week we are beginning to build our robots and hopefully at the end of the week we will finish what we have started.

Friday, February 24, 2017

On Friday February 24, we started building our robot. We were assigned the claw bot and we almost finished building the base of the robot. We are mostly all caught up and are where we are supposed to be. We accomplished all of our goals this week and are excited to get back and start working towards new goals next week.

Monday February 20, 2017

On Monday February 20, 2017 we FINALLY finished getting our virtual world badges. Now we started taking apart the robots to become familiar with them so when we start to build we eliminate a lot of confusion. By the end of this week we hope to start building our robot and even hopefully start to program it.

Friday February 17, 2017

On February 17, 2017 we are still in the process of getting the goal for our badges. We are getting closer and closer everyday. There was apparently some confusion in the beginning but we have more understanding in what were doing during the programming.

Monday February 13, 2017

On Monday February 13 we continued to work virtual worlds trying to get 30 plus badges so we can continue on to build our robot. Our goal for this week are to get our badges and begin working on the robot. So far we have about 24 badges.
