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. 

Square One

Happy Halloween!  Today, Mr. Martin gave us our new challenge: 2 minutes to score 100 points. Stars are worth 5, cubes are worth 10, a low hang is worth 20 and a high hang is worth 40.  In order to accomplish this we are starting from square one.  The slip gear was great on paper but just didn't pan out in reality. Our challenge date is Friday November 15th.  We can do this.

We Survived

Yesterday, we managed to get three stars over in a minute.  It is ultimately unimpressive, but it got us the grade we needed.  There is no doubt we need to change things on our robot.  Regardless, we are happy we got the grade and have time to fix our mistakes.
