Week Eight: Robot Improvement

Today we are work to improve our robot so we go to go for the challenge. we are also trying to figure out how to get the ball in the basket. 

Week Eight: Racquetball Challenge

Today we worked out some issues we were having with the programming and stability of the physical robot. We fixed a problem with the claw shaking too much upon operation. And we fixed our code so the controls of the robot wouldn't be so confusing.

Week Seven: Time To Master The Challenge

Today we are continuing working on  the robot for robot racquetball challenge and getting ready to do our first test and move on to the challenge .

Week Seven: Preparation Racquetball

Today since were gonna start preparing for the next challenge which is the racquetball challenge. We have to pick up a ball with our robot's modified claw and place it in a certain area. If we work hard we will succeed in the end. Also we must work on our Solidworks model for the challenge so were going to be busy.

Week Six: Final Tests

Today we continued to make adjustments to our claw bot and tested various programs we wrote up. we've been having problems with the claw motor so we decided to tweak the design a bit. We are looking forward to getting this done as soon as possible. We really want to begin the next challenge.

Week Six: Ready to Start and Finish

Today we are continuing the work on the claw-bot and tetrahedron so we can complete the challenge for this week.were almost ready to ace this challenge and move on to the next one.

Week Five: Continuation Building Claw

Today we continued construction on the claw-bot that we will use for the next challenge. As well as finished the SolidWorks model required up until now. Now we're ready to get serious and really push forward with this. We're striving to get this done by the deadline.

Week Five: Hard Work Continuation

Today we continue to work on our Autonomous program for our VexRobot. We also add the finishing touches to our SolidWorks model. Later we shall apply a claw to both the 3D model and the actual robot for a different challenge. We hope to have everything done before Friday!

Week Four: Finishing the Challenge

Today we are working on finishing our robot in SolidWorks and finishing programming our robot to be fully autonomous and complete the challenge to complete three full round around two chairs.
