Beginning of the week (Goals)

3-D printing and Trails

This week we now have a coded brain and can begin testing the robots ability's. We also are going to  try to print a 3-D funnel which I have already designed in solid-works. Our group plans to implement it into the shooter so that we can store many ping-pong balls at once and then fire them off rapidly

End of the week (Accomplishments)

Working on the power point

This week we accomplished a good bit of what we wanted to. We completed the finishing touches on our robot including the implementation of a new brain to insure the robot's functionality. We also begun working on the power point presentation that goes over all aspects of our game. It is not finished yet but we have until Wednesday of next week to get it done.

Beginning of the week (Goals)

Testing and Organizing

This week our robot is mostly complete. We plan to test it in the arena and see how well the robot works with the new brain and controller and the ping-pong balls. We are going to be looking for how well the claw works as we can already see how well the shooter works outside the arena. We also have to find a location for the motor's wires, as of right now they are loosely hanging in the middle of the bot. Programming the brain is another thing we have to work on during this week.
Today we were issued our mid-term and what it consist of, so our group may begin working onthat this week as well.
