blog post 2 week 7

We have finished all of our challenges in our two person group we didn't succeed much in the tug of war competition due to our flawed building design. We are now creating a 6 person group and are going to have to create a robot for a Kobe competition. So on wards to the next robot competition and hopefully that goes better than the last one.

Blog post 1 week 7

Today is the last day to adapt our robot to the table's. We are going to line our wheels with tape and add some more grip to the base so our robot will actually move this time. We have to fix our one broken gear so that our left side will be able to move finally and besides that we should be fine for the tug of ear on Tuesday.

Blog week 6 post 2

We witnessed our robot win its first match against Theo Alec and Izabella's robot (because i paid off the ref to drop their robot) and then we also witnessed our first loss against Nick Schuab's robot because one of our wheels fell of and we never recovered from that. We did worse than expected because we are tetrix and lost to a vex but considering we were in a two person group with a couple of absences in between I believe we did alright of course we wanted to win it all but the chances of that happening were pretty slim. All in all I feel pretty confident that we can win our next challenge given to us given what we know now about our robot's build design.

Blog post 1 week 6

This week is the week of the Tug of War competition. Starting on Tuesday we have to turn in all of our work and we cant change any of our robots stuff. We are going against Brandon's robot first because they are the only other tetrix robot and then we'll go from there. But until then we are finishing our solid works robot and touching up our robot by adding weight to it using a dumbbell and by tightening up all our screws.

This is the last week before the challenge. We are putting the finishing touches on to our solid works robot. We have everything done on our physical robot except for the weight which we are bringing in next week in preparation for the robot competition. I Am planning to win one round minimum because our robot is a lot larger than the others I believe we should have a few easy wins in our future (cough cough Theo's robot).

Week 5 post 1

Finishing up on our robot now we need to add weight to it and build it in solid works. Also we need to see where to put the weights and see what is the best setup for our robot

Blog Post 2 Week 4

We have our robot fully coded and it is able to move. We are now looking for something to add weight to our robot while keeping it mobile and without going over the weight limit. We are starting to look for the parts on solid-works so we can construct it there as well. We plan to be done with everything before the end of next week but we'll see how that turns out.

Week 4

We are finishing up with the robot for the tug or war competition and we have to build robot on solid works

blog post 2 week 3

We finished our gearing and we are starting to add our wheels. I just finished the wiring to bring power to the motors. we are starting to make something happen with servo motors we are considering adding a anchoring device that can possibly give us and advantage in the tug of war challenge.

blog post 1 week 3

This week we are finishing our base and our gears for our robot. we are also starting to make our code and we are starting on our addition to give us an edge in the tug of war competition. But before we do that we have to make sure everything works and is within the rules to use. and we are trying to use servos to give us a competitive edge.

Week 2

This week we are building robot and starting solid works for the tug of war bot

Blog Week 1 Post 2

This week we created the base for our root and we are starting to gear it. We are compound gearing the wheels so that we can fit everything in and have enough room for our wheels while still maxing out on power. Next week we plan to finish our gears and to get started on our next designs to help our  robot succeed in the the Tug Of War challenge.

Blog Week 1 Post 1

Today we are beginning on our robot. We are doing another attempt at Tetrix. We are beginning our body shaping and we are getting ourselves prepared for the tug of war test which is going to be the first test of the year.
