Week 14 Final

So this year has been quite something especially with the trials and tribulation experienced. It was hard and stressful to keep up with everything that needed to be done (easier than the rollercoaster :) but as a team we we were able to divide and conquer even though we weren't the best all the time but we ultimately finished what we needed to do. It good getting to learn different thing and having more hands on experience. In our group all our strengths differed so we able to learn and gain something from each other. Everything in life is a learning experience, coming together was a beginning, keeping it together was a process, and working together was a success.

Week 13 Facts

Just some facts. Our robot is 4.4 pounds with 8.35 to 1 gear ratio. Also there is padding on the wheels for added traction.

Week 13 Accomplishments

So this week we had to keep changing things on our robot to see what works and decided on the best thing and stuck with it. We re did the drive train and added padding on the wheels for more traction and we completed our 10 runs.

                                           Last minute tweaking before our final runs.

Week 13 Goals

So today's schedule was hectic due to unforeseen circumstances but we are in the classroom and working on  improving our robot in the areas of torque,traction and weight.

Drive Train

week 12 Accomplishments

So this week we faced alot of problems with our ideas and rebuilding the robot but we started to expand the robot but we didn't have time to so we decided to go back to a normal size robot.

 

.

Week 12 Goals

Our goals for this week are to update our solidworks model complete the challenge. We have to  finish building our new robot to do that.

Week 11 Accomplishments

So we decided on an idea for the tug of war challenge. We started building our robot but realized we needed more traction and decided that we had to take the robot apart to do that.

Week 11 Goals

So we completed the ball challenge last week and now we are taking the arm off our robot so we can modify it for the tug of war challenge. We also want to decide on the best idea to create traction.

Rebuilt with  no arm.

Week 10 Part 2

So today we tried to run the challenge but ran into some problem with the arm holding up weight.

So we tried to fix it by adding counter weight.

Week 10 Part 1

So today we are finally back in the tech lab after being moved for testing Monday and Wednesday.Today we hope to finish programming and complete the challenge.

  

                                                        Waiting for solidworks to open.

Week 9 Part 2

On Tuesday there was no school due to EOC testing and on Wednesday there was more FCAT testing so we couldn't work on robot. So Thursday we are finally back i the classroom and back to working on our robots so we can complete the challenge. Today, friday we are also in the classroom and working on the robot.

Week 9 Part 1

So thanks to FCAT testing our classroom has been  moved so we are temporarily displaced and can't work on our robots because the tools we need are the classroom. We will resume building on Thursday.

Week 8 Accomplishments

So this week we completed the arm and ball challenge. We also continued to update the solidworks model.

Week 8 Goals

So this week we hope to have finished building the arm. We also hope to have the SolidWorks model updated and complete the ball challenge completed.

Week 7 Accomplishment

So this week we completed the tetrahedron challenge We also decided on an idea for the arm and started building it.

Week 7 Goals

So this week we hope to complete the tetrahedron challenge and finish our SolidWorks model. We also want to decide on an idea for the ball challenge and start building it.

Week 6 Accomplishment

So this week we finished our arm but we didn't get to complete the challenge. We also started our SolidWorks model of our modifed bot for the tetrahedron challenge.

Week 6 Goals

This week we hope to have our arm finished to complete the next challenge and modify the solidworks model to look like our improved robot.

Week 5 Accomplishments

So this week we decided on the idea for the arm and started building the arm. We also started adding the parts we used on the robot to the SolidWorks model.

Week 5 Goals

This week we want to decide on an idea for the arm, find all the parts we need to build it and start building it.
