Goals of Week 21

Pretty far into the robotics season now. With the team just barely squeezing into states championships we need to put this entire operation into overdrive. We are going to revert the robot back to its ancestors and use an old chassis design that we know works. We will also design a new end affector to pick up blocks more effectively.

Accomplishments of Week 18

Were are very close to having a complete rolling chassis, the wheels, gearing, and motors are mounted to the robot, but it still requires some programming.

Goals of week 18

So after a successful weekend competition landing us in second place we came in today to really crack down on our new robot design so that we may be able to practice against ourselves...
GOALS:
Fix certain wiring factors on the robot
Work on the new robot design to match that of our current one
create a hanging bar for any team to hang upon

Accomplishments of Week 19

This week, we attempted to create a better scoring mechanism... but ultimately came a little short. Guess we have a project over winter break. :/
