Week Four: Autonomous Testing

Our teacher Mr. Martin tells us we have to program our robot to autonomously go around a chair, meaning go on its own without us controlling it. As we program this week we prepare for testing programs to work properly for our robot. We shall challenge and conquer the chairs.

Week Three: SolidWorks

In the conclusion of this week we're making the SolidWorks model/assembly of our robot. Each of us are looking for parts online to start up the assembly. We also added a battery holder on our robot to keep our battery secure from falling under the robot. We still strive to be the best!

Week One: Tool & Part Set-Up


In the conclusion of this week, we've made up our tool boxes and robot carts for our start to build robots on Monday. Our tools and parts are ready to go as we organize more and more with our blog and robotic skills. As we keep things in order we learn to keep them that way. We hope to be the best robotics team.
