Day 27

Today, we learned that the next robot checkpoint will be next Tuesday. We think that we can get the full 12 points out of the hang, so that is what we will be working on today. Hopefully later in the week we can improve our arm to get more points out of the stars. We are most likely not going to get any points off of the cubes becasue of the robot design.

Testing continued

Many of my team members are rushing to complete their tests and training.  Even though I am finished, Mr. Martin will not allow us to work on our robots.  It is unfortunate because it could  benefit our grades.  Hopefully, we can get back to it soon.

Testing Day

Today, and for the next few days, robots are off limits.  In lieu, we are working on Autocad testing and training.  They are due Tuesday.  In order to compensate for our lost time on the robot, Nick and I come in during a lunch. We need to add a hook and we should be able to high hang and consequently, get an A.

Day 23

Today we completed the second half of our scissor lift and are currently working to finish our solid works. Although we faced some dificulties with downloading the solid works parts we are still on tract for completing the assembly by Wednesday.

Day 22

This week we accomplished a little less than we planned to, but that was part in due to our Autocad practice.  We are almost done with the right scissor lift, however we need to pick up the pace on Solidworks.  The challenge is next Wednesday, we got this.

Day 21

This week our main objective is to finish the right scissor lift and get on the way with Solidworks.  We are having trouble finding the proper metal for the lifts, we need eight pieces and we currently only have 5.  Alec and I are on the search for new metal.

Day 20

Today we continued with the scissor lift and planning on mounting and finishing the right scissor lift. We also began working on our updated solid works in order for it to match our current robot design.
