Week 4: Friday: Rush



This whole week we were working on the arm. We built one design then disassembled it because the design had flaws that we did not notice until we fully built it, so we decided to take it off. It took us a while to rethink another idea but we have it an plan to be using and building it next week.

Robot on Solidworks

Week three: Friday: Design



Throughout the week our team was handicapped, so it limited the work we were able to do because 2 of our teammates were out. But now they are back trying to help the team catch back up with the schedule of building the robot. So far we have the body built and ready to go but the missing component to our robot is the arm, which we are doing now

Week three: Monday: Design



This Monday we started to work on gearing and creating the mount for the arm. We had lots of discussion on weather we should gear it or not and ended up gearing them. Now we are creating a mount for the arm and are trying to figure out the best and most efficient way of making it.

Week One: Friday: Starting off



For the first week back we have been planning on what to do for the robot. We have been also working on the virtual robot on Solidworks. Once we get our bot plans approved by our teacher we are immediately going to start building because we are behind right now. Right now the whole team is working very hard and learning he rules of the game so once we start we don't need to learn anything new
