What we accomplished this week:

• Completed tetra build
• Completed squarebot build

This week we successfully completed the tetra build as well as the squarebot build. We weren't able to complete autonomous but we completed two of our goals so we are happy about that. This quarter has been very stressful, however, it has been a great learning experience for all of us. We have all worked really hard and enjoyed our time working on the robot.

Goals for this week:

• Complete the tetra build
• Complete the squarebot build
• Complete autonomous

With only four days of full school days left, we have to speed up the process and finish whatever tasks we can. This week we plan on completing the tetra build as well as the squarebot build. We are working vigorously to finish these things as quickly as possible. If we have enough time left, we plan on going back to try and finish autonomous.

What we accomplished this week:

• Begin doing the tetra build

This week we did manage to begin building the tetra build, however, that's the only goal we set that we were able to accomplish his week. We still have not finished autonomous due to some technical difficulties, but we are getting really close to finishing it. We plan on doing the squarebot build after we finish autonomous. Hopefully by next week, we can finish autonomous before finals start.

The Goals For This Week Are:

• Finish Autonomous

• Finish Squarebot Build 

• Begin Building The Tetra

This quarter is coming to an end and now it is crunch time. We are almost done with the autonomous and although we are several months behind and it has been a long journey, we have learned a lot from it. Hopefully we will be able to complete 3 assignments this week.

What we accomplished this week:

• Install the motors in the robot
• Made the robot steer straight
• Went around the chairs twice

This week we installed the new motors that we got as well as made the robot go around the chairs twice. Also, while we were perfecting our code, we found out how to make our robot steer straight instead of it curving to the left. Hopefully by next week we ca make our robot go around the chairs 3 times.

Goals for this week:

• Make the robot go around the chair 3 times
• Start working on the next project

This week we plan on making the robot go around the chair 3 times so that we can start working on the next project. Mr. Martin gave us some newer motors that can help our robot perform better. Now all we have to do is finish installing the motor and we will be closer to completing autonomous.

What we accomplished this week:

• Tighten all the loose screws on the robot
• Adjust our code to fit our robot

This week we didn't manage to accomplish the goals that we set. However, we happened to do other things necessary to make our robot do autonomous. We tightened some screws that were hindering the robot's performance and we adjusted our code to go along with our robot better.

Goals for this week:

• Finish coding the autonomous
• Make the robot go around the chairs

This week we are back in our original room and now we can finally start working on our robot again. Now that we are in our room again, we plan on making the perfect code for our robot and successfully make it go around the chair at least once.

What we accomplished this week:

• We finished replacing the axles on the robot

This week we finished replacing and fixing the parts on the robot. Last week we figured out what the problem was so everything from this point on should be smooth sailing. Unfortunately, we have been relocated to the portables so we couldn't really get anything done. Hopefully by next week we can complete the goals that we set this week.
