WEEK 11: 4/7/17


     







    This week we accomplished the impossible. We finally completed the fifth challenge!! We are so happy that it is done before spring break and can now relax a bit. We also completed our robot build on solid works. Thanks to Richie's skills we completed it relatively easy. Now that we've picked up the pace a bit we can focus on the hardest challenge of them all. KEEP IT LIT!!!

WEEK 11: 4/3/17




This week our objective is to finish the fifth robot challenge. This is to pick up the ball autonomously and drop in the tube cylinder. We have to program the arm to lift to the perfect height to drop the ball inside. It has been quite a challenge so far. The battery is proving to be a big part in the challenge. If the battery is too full the arm will go too far back and if it isn't charged enough it will not raise high enough. Hopefully by the end of the week we have it figured out. KEEP IT LIT!!!
