Week Twelve: Part One

we are still in the process of testing the controllers and brains to see which ones will work.we have been testing the robot manually to see which parts would make it move and have it work correctly. so far we have made a bit of progress but we are still trying to figure out exactly what the problem is.

Week 11: Part Two

we have now found out that our controller also had a problem and we need to change it for new one and re-program it. we have encountered multiple problems with these older parts but are working hard to fix them as fast as we can. what we have left to do is to fix the problems we have encountered the test the robot itself.

Week Nine: Part One

now that we have had a few days of organizing spare parts we have finally been given the task to build our robot. what we will do first is gather all the necessary part to begin building then we will get the instructions and start from there. hopefully this task wont take up much time so that we may make up for lost time.

Week Eight: Part Two

now that our teacher has check our squarebot and apporved it we have been given the task of organizing spare parts that are used for the robot. once he determines that we have organized enough he will allow us to continue building the squarebot it self.

Week Eight: Part One

we have finally finished our squarebot on solidworks. after a few difficulties we finally accomplished our first task of the project. now all we have to do is have our teacher check it then we will move on to building the squarebot itself.
