Goals for this week:

• Tighten up all the loose screws
• Put in a new motor

This week we plan on putting all the finishing touches on the robot. This means making sure everything on the robot is secure and safe. We also plan on replacing one of our motors because it started to give us problems. By the end of the week, we should be getting ready to program.

What we accomplished:

• We attached the battery and receiver to the robot
• We connected the robot to the computer and began programming today

This week we connected the rest of the essential parts to the robot. We had some difficulty getting the communication to work. However, we finally figured out how to get it connected with the computer. We tried to program the robot, but we didn't get very far. When we come back from break, we hope to have the robot moving autonomously.

Today we were able to come over to the computers and get our robot synced with the computer. It took awhile for the Robot to finally connect to the computer and allow us to begin programming. It took a whole two days before it would work. But we finally got it to and the results came out well. We are now onto programming it to use duel joysticks.

What we accomplished:

• Finished building the robot
• Positioned the screws in the correct place

This week we completed building our robots. We weren't able to connect the battery to the brain because all the batteries were dead. It took us two weeks to build the robot, half of what it took us to draw it on the computer. Next week we hope to start programming.

Goals for this week:

• Build the canopy
• Finish the robot

This week we plan on continuing to build our Robot. We finally got the correct parts so that the wheels could turn properly. Also we had to adjust the length of the railing so that we could have the Robot completely sturdy.

• Built the basic structure of the robot.
• Got all the screws in place

This week we built the basic structure of the robot. On the computer, this took us approximately  weeks. Next week we hope to be completely finished with the canopy and the robot.

Goals For This Week

• Build the basic structure of the robot
• Put the screws in the correct places

This week we will begin to physically build our robot. We believe it will be a lot easier since we already know the names of most of the parts.
