As we are somewhat stuck on programming the robot. Our group is currently conducting extensive researching to find out what the problem is. We have gone to many websites to hopefully find the answer to...
Through extensive research, we have figured out how to configure the controller and pair it with the robot. These are baby steps that are leading out of the programming roadblock. We are slowly gaining...
Since we have started to program, we have experienced many difficulties communicating with the robot. We have tried many options and each one has failed. We will continue to try to send code to the robot....
Now that we have a reasonable grasp on what we can achieve before the end of the year, Mr. Smith has proposed a plan/goal for us to complete. His proposal was for us to finish the base of our robot and...
Now that the base of our robot is finished, we can start to program our robot to move. This will be very difficult since we have to start from scratch and our group members have limited experience with...
With our mecanum wheels, we can now assemble the structure of the wheels. We plan to use one motor per wheel and use gears to decrease the amount of energy needed to spin the wheels.
This is...
We have now begun the construction of our robot. Though we have not gotten some of the parts of our robot, we are making the structure.
This is a picture of our robot so far.
This...
Our mecanum wheels for our robot have arrived. Now we can get the precise measurements of our robots structure and wheels. We can set up the wheel positioning and structure. Building the robot will be...
We are organizing the materials that we will use to make our robot. Mr. Smith went to several conventions and picked up lots of useful pieces. This will significantly help lower the price to create...
We will be basing the robot mostly on the FTC (First Tech Challenge) rules. FTC is a competition where teams face off against each other with robots doing tasks. We will not join...
