week 6

3/11/19
Our goals for this week is to continue to modify our robot. We put on two small wheelie bars on the back and have coded the arm of our robot and have added reinforcements to our claw but it seem to be too heavy for the motor too keep up.


3/13/19
Today we a have decided to put on the big boy wheels. We have to make a whole new base to accommodate for the length of the wheels. We also have to add 2 small gear o the front and the back on each side which will give us more speed. This project might take a few days but i will be worth it.

Week 5

3/4/19
        We Have gotten the basis done for our figure 8, but the timing in rotation and moving forward is the tiniest bit off so we have inconsistent runs when it goes to repeat the drive forward actions. we will continue to tweak it till we get it right! 

      

           3/8/19 - We have tweaked the coding alot and have a really good basis for the figure 8. we have had 2 successful figure 8's but it is still a tiny inconsistent so until we get 4 successful runs in a row we will continue to change the coding. 

                                                                          

                                                              

week 4

2/20/19
We continued working on our figure 8. By the end of class we had half of our first figure 8 done coded out. We ran into problem with the robot rotating to much or too little despite what we told it to do.

2/22/19
This figure 8 might be the death of us to be honest... the robot just barely moves to far to the side and since we have to command on repeat the first run has to be nearly perfect for the second one to be.

Week 3

2/11/18 We went to our stations and familiarized our selves with the software and cortex for the v5.
   



2/15/18 We started finding and collecting all of our robots parts, then started building the base of our claw bot.
      

Week 2

2/5/19 We chose the v5 claw bot for the challenge. We also cleaned out our work space so should be ready to work once we get the base of our bot done in solid works.

    

2/7/19 We Finished the Solid works drawing of the base for the v5 clawbot so we can start building.

Week 1

2/5/29 -
          The goals for the week are to write bio pages for all the group members, make sure all our robot parts are away, inventory/organize our tool box, pick our robot "style", and make the virtual design of the robot on solid works.

      

2/719

We started to do the solid work and are searching for the pieces for the claw bot.
