Moving The CLAW

WEEK 9

Wednesday I added the fingers to the claw and replaced a bent part. I also fixed the wheel that fell off. We are starting to find the program that will allow the claw to move, along with the robot. We also worked on and finished the base of claw bot, and now we need to make the claw to attach it. We have the code to allow us to control the claw, and after we do the 60 second challenge, we can start the autonomous challenge, which we also have the base for.

Claw Boi=Completion

WEEK 9

Today we made the most progress we have in a while. We are almost done with our claw all we have to do is add the 'finger'. The Solidworks it's pretty much half way done, Brandon just needs to mirror it and add the battery. Next class hopefully we can start testing our claw and start putting in our commands.

Starting Claw Officially

WEEK 8

We have officially started to make the claw. I hope it doesn't take as long as the figure 8 did. This week we are only in class one day, so we only have one entry. We figured out how to make the claw and attach the motor.

Moving On

WEEK 7

Our blogs have no consistent theme or style, so this weekend I want to work on formatting our blog. We accomplished speeding up our robot, and successfully completed the figure 8. We have fixed 3 out of 4 of the long axles. I'm almost done rebuilding the Solidworks robot, so when the claw is done, all we have to do is add it on top. Finally, we moved the battery to the front of our bot, and flipped the cortex around, leaving more space in the back for the claws base. We also added the two beams for the claw.

Re-Do and Restart

Week 7

This week will be very stressful because we have super testing on Tuesday and Wednesday, and we'll be missing days that we need to rebuild our robot. We restarted, and made the robot go faster, but we're still behind. I need to come in during study hall to fix the long axles and collars. We also need to start making a claw, in SolidWork because we restarted, and real life.

Getting Closer

WEEK 6
Today we forgot to do a blog, so I wrote down what we did to upload, and I made the blog pretty. I have been coming in during study hall, and in class I showed Sam how to work the multi meter. We did't do much, and we don't plan to except hurry on our figure 8.

Catch UP

Last week, Brandon was absent a lot, and I missed a day too. We will start naming our posts instead of putting dates, and we will take turns for Monday and Friday posts. Our figure eight is almost done, today we will finish it up and start planning on how to add a claw to our square bot.
