Tuesday goal

The goal for Tuesday is just make sure all our nuts and bolts are tightened and not falling off. The progress we made today or Monday wasn't really anything. Only one guy in our group was actually working since we didn't really have anything to do. We did change our conveyer belt but other than that we didn't really do anything.

Thursday Goal

Thursdays goal again is simple.  We decided to take off the ramp for other robots to get on our robot to get the extra 10 points and instead are working on a way to get our own robot off its wheels.  We have some ideas but aren't sure if they will work.  But overall today is another building day with very little left to do.

Wednesday Goal

Our groups goal for tomorrow is to continue to build our robot.  Even though there is a lot of time left we are basically done with the build.  We may add a few things here and there as time goes on but mostly we are done.  Tomorrows goal isn't really anything at all, just to add more adjustments maybe make our ramp for other bots to drive up better or something small like that.

Monday Goal

Our team is pretty good.  I would say we are making very good progress and all we really need to do is add more miscellaneous stuff that isn't needed but will help.  For Monday all we plan to do is add more to our robot and make it much better.

New Team/Monday goal

Well the new groups we got seem pretty good.  I think i will be able to work and get along with my group members just fine.  They have some "fun" ideas i guess you could say and were pretty much building a box tank.  For Monday all we are really going to do is to continue building and improving our tank.  We've got a lot of it done so with all this extra time on our hands we will be able to vastly improve our robot to win on the new protoball game.

Conveyor Belt/ Linear thing/ L.E. plan

We made a conveyor and a linear moving thing.  Me and Matt were working on the conveyor belt while Nick and Matt was working on the linear moving thing.  There was little difficulty while making them.  We just had to make sure everything fit and all that.  One of our motors did break though and we need to get it replaced.  For our Luke-Ericsson device we are going to be using the conveyor belt and linear thing.  We will also be using some of our large C. channels to have the tennis ball move from one thing to another and our debating whether to also make a catapult or a claw to finish it.  We will also be adding a few things in between but are not positive what that will be.
