Week 8: Friday: Almost there

This week was a tough weeek! We started from scratch on Monday and today Friday we have everything but the coding. We have not done the challenge yet for the robot but most likely by the end of the day we might have finished the challenge hopefully.

Week 8: Wednesday: The Bane of Our Existence (Still Fun!)

We are super proud that we took on the challenge to do the Third version of our robot. Yes, we went through three trial and error versions. We have not even gotten to putting the robot into practice for the competition.  This took more than 30 hours to work on.  You can see the attention to most detail of the detail taken to draw this version. The metal was flexed to create a hinge like mechanism, a problem finally solved for our "end effector". You can see this clearly in the top view. Here are the renderings;  We recommend opening the pictures in a new tab by right clicking on the picture and selecting "open link in new tab"  and finally press and hold the control and + keys to zoom in.

Week 8: Monday: Restart

This week our prototype of the bot is due and my team disassembled the robot because there was something wrong with the old design. So today we are on a fast pace and wiring and designing it all over again as if was week 1 once again

Week 7: Friday:Due Over

My team has destroyed the old design completely causing us to come up with a new one. As of right now we are thinking of a new design and rebuilding our robot. 

Week 7: Monday: Working hard

This week we are playing no games at all!! Our teacher said that our robots prototype is due by next week on Wednesday and we haven't gotten our arm on the robot yet. So we have no time to waste cause if we do we might fail the assignment. 

Week 6: Friday: Hurricane

We had a hurricane coming towards Florida so we have no school for Thursday and Friday

Week 6: Monday: The Comeback

This week we are on the comeback!! We have our arm design built, motors running perfectly, and starting off a good week. Today we are just fixing a little flaws in our bot, but other than that we just have to attach the arm and program it to work. Also we are racing against the clock because our teacher told us we are going to dry run the competition next week or the following week.
