Week 4- Goals

This week we are just watching all the other teams scramble to get their robots together while we sit back and relax. We feel that we will beat all the other VEX robots, and most of the Tetrix robots.

Week 3- Accomplishments

This week we completed finishing our robot completely and are ready for the tournament next week. Jaret is still soldering this week and is trying to fix a lot of the motors. We have been helping other groups that aren't finished, so hopefully everyone will be ready by next week.

Week 3- Goals

 This week we are changing our gear ratio on our winch, we are making it a bit faster because we felt it was a bit too slow. After that we are done with our robot officially, and we will be ready for the tournament next Wednesday. Jaret is also working on fixing broken motors by re-soldering broken connections.

Week 2- Accomplishments

This week we attached our winch to our robot. Everything got connected and put together, and it all worked out in the end. During the Tug 'O' War double elimination bracket we came in second place. Our plan worked, but it can be better.

Week 2- Goals

This week is our challenge and we only have two days to complete our bot. Luckily all that needs to be done is attaching the wheels and our "Secret Weapon" to the robot and we will be ready to win.

Week 1- Accomplishments

This week was pretty successful. We almost completed our robot, and got the blog up and running. The chassis of the robot is completed and all that is left are the wheels and the "super secret surprise" :)

Week 1- Introduction/Goals

This week is picking up from where we left off from last year, we are still doing tug'O'war but with our own made up rules. We made these rules based off what we thought would be fair, we learned the do's and don'ts from last year. Our goal is to get the blog up and running, as well as redesign our robot.
