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 finishing and hope that we can complete by next class. Our robot just needs a few final tweaks before it's ready to go. Melqui finally completed his certification yesterday.

We worked on adding the scooper and setting it up so that the ball is able to fall straight toward where the shooter is. We're a few steps closer to finishing. Mykel got the scooper to work and I had to fix something minor on the shooter. Fiona soldered some wires so we could have more Ys to connect the wires into the ports on the cortex.

Mykel, Fiona and I improved the structure which would support the arms today. We got the cap lifter to work for sure and hope it will work just fine during the challenge, we just have to make further improvements to the cortex because for some strange reason it keeps shutting off and blinking red lights and it is messing with the system. Next on the list of completion is the ball scooper.

Today we got some major progress done as we finally achieved picking up a cap and stacking it. It is not 100% perfect but we are still fixing some small tweaks, one of them being the wheels so that our robot is able to make turns better and not be so janky. Fiona and I will work on designing, building, and placing the ball scooper on our robot really soon.
