Week Fifteen: Part Two

the first tetra challenge is to put three tetrra on the tubes in 1 minute . The second challenge is to do it with in a certain area. So I made my arms length adjustable

I can manually adjust the length with a handle on the top of the arm.

Week Fifteen: Part One

this week we created a sample tetra trianlge so that we can practice the challenge with and learn how to create the triangle itself then we will create the ones we will actually use for the challenge.we have also been working to create the arm. so far we have a sample arm that we will improve so it will work at its best and most efficency.

Week Fourteen: Part Two

the majority of this week has been made up of brainstorming ideas for the arm and programming the robot to move on its own for the previous challenge. so far programming the robot to move on its own has been simple all we need to do now is to give it exact instruction in where and how to move around so that the challenge will be done. we are at the same time working on the arm and perfecting it.

Week Fourteen: Part One

this week we were in the process of perfecting the structure of the arm for the challenge. we've been brainstorming new ideas to make it better and work more efficient.we have been coming up with better ideas in how to make the hook work better and extend it to make the task easier and quicker.so far our ideas have improved our build but we still have to make it work well along with the robot.

Week Thirteen: Part Two

what we have done for the week is to build the arm for the new challenge and attach it to the robot and see how it would work. while we do that we are still trying to fix bugs in the program to work the robot and in the robot itself.so far the arm has come along well but we still have the challenge to do and a robot to work.

Week Thirteen: Part One

this week we have finally gotten a brain and controller that both work well for us and have the robot working to where it is supposed to on a manual setting. now that we have our robot working we can move on to the next assignment that has been given to us which is to build a arm or something similar to get triangles that we will make on to the challenge which is to place the triangles on the poles in the picture for points.  

Week Twelve: Part Two

we have now found the part that are working for our robot and are allowing it to move manually.now that we have started to have it work  now all we have to do it test it out. then we will program it to work automatically
