New Quarter New challenge: Monday week 1

New that we are starting the next quarter we have a new challenge. The rules for challenge are below. Our goal for the week is to come up with a strategy to do the challenge and come up with a design in order to hang our robot on the metal poles.

 

Monday week 9

This week is the last week of the quarter. Our goal this week is to fix any flaws with our robot in order to improve our score. We ran the challenge again with each star being worth 7 points. We only threw 4 but we are hoping to improve that score this week.

week 8 Friday

This week we completed our goal of finishing our robot. Since we finished two days late, each star for the challenge is worth 8 points each. We did the challenge and threw 8 over making it 56 points.

Solid works checkpoint

Week 8 Monday

Today not much was done. Half of our team went to Stimpson Co. a manufacturing company of eyelets and grommets, to see a real world application of solidworks, autocad, and mastercam. When we got back since we are practically done the only thing we are doing is changing our code so that the arm runs on buttons.

 

Week 7 Friday

This week We meet our goal. We finally finished the robot and we are now testing the robot on the course. We have a couple of tweaks but since we have a few extra days of can fix them so the robot runs better.

 

Week 7 Monday

This week we found out the robot is due next week. The only thing we have to do for our robot is code it and do some maintenance. Other than that the robot is done.

Week 6 Wednesday

Due to hurricane Matthew, School has been closed down Thursday and Friday. Because of this we didn't meet our goal of completing the challenge. We instead created a new endofactor and installed it to the robot. This new endofactor is a metal square with thin flat metal allowing the robot to pick up both the square and the stars

Week 6 Tuesday

Today is Senior nerd day. Though irrelevant to the subject this week we plan on installing the arm and finish coding. Also we plan on finishing the challenge by this week.
