Mykel, Melqui and I worked on modifying the base of our robot so it could fit the ball shooter. Fiona worked on creating the SolidWorks model for our robot and is adding all the new modifications we're making. The SolidWorks model should be complete sometime next week.

Today we finished our chassis for our robot. We had to get assistance to find the right program to actually move the robot. We adjusted the program to match our motors. Theennnnnn we successfully attempted the first challenge to go up and over.

Today we worked more on the chassis. We're attempting to use the tread instead of gears. Its trial and error, if it doesn't work then we'll ditch the idea and go back the gears. But for now we're gonna test it with the first challenge. We also set up our program so its ready to go for when we need it.

Mykel worked on building the chasis while Fiona did further research on how we could improve our plans on the robot's "ball shooting" mechanism. So far we have some new ideas on what we can do/use to achieve a perfect shot to be able to turn the top flags in the arena. We hope that by next class we'll have much better plans as far as base building and arm structure goes.

Today we began the process of building our robot. For the last couple of days Mykel drew a rough sketch of what we hoped our robot would look like. Mykel and Melqui worked on putting the base together while Fiona and Nicolle worked on blogs and did research on the claw of the robot.

Today's one of the last few days we have, before midterms, to work on our robot and get it ready. We are really close to finishi...
